    Wondering about a good GPU for WoW WoD

    hey guys, long time reader first time poster here.

    I've just purchased a new computer and I think the specs are pretty good but I know I need a graphics card so that I can fully play World of Warcraft on Ultra Settings, keep in mind this is the ONLY game that I play on my computer so that's all I'm looking to optimize my computer for. Any feedback on a good graphics card or anything else you think I should upgrade would be helpful thanks in advance:

    Specifications
    Processor Series Core i7
    Operating System Windows 8
    Hard Drive Size 1 TB

    Going to move this to the Build/Upgrade subforum!

    In the meantime... You shouldn't need anything greater than a 760... So a 750ti or 660 ought to suffice. Unfortunately, your CPU will chug a little on Ultra in 20/25m raids, and there isn't much you can do about that since you already bought it (Consulting people ahead of time is a must!).

    Do you know what PSU it has, or a link to the system itself?

    Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro

    That PC has 300W PSU and probably crappy one. So no, you will need a new PSU.
    http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-pow...ply-p1550sxxb9 is what I would recommend.

    Also for exact same price, non reference 760
