Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?

I need to find an affordable video card for WoW. I putting together a system for my friends to use when they come over. The system has a Core I3 CPU, 6GB Ram, and a 650w power supply. I need to be able to run WoW with really good fps in a 25man raid.

Depending on budget, nvidia 750 Ti or GTX 760. With latter you can basically max everything, former requires some settings to be lowered.

Well, this:

I see it has a decent rebate deal as well...

This SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 270 $155 (there is also $10 rebate) You get 2 "silver reward" games with this card as well, it may or may not be worth something to you.

anything in the geforce 600 + range will do it proud but the CPU will always be the thing that lets you down with wow. that effects FPS far more.

Look at a Radeon R7 260x over the Nvidia GTX 750 ti.
The 750 ti is vastly overhyped and the 260x is superior, and cheaper to boot.

Brand preference, features, or price.
Whatever your needs are, go with that. Originally Posted by DeadmanWalking

The AMD 270 (this is like the old 7870-7870GHz) I linked will get you the best performance for your ~$150.

Just to clarify for OP, reasons for buying...
...270:
- More powerful
- Supports Mantle on the few games which can take advantage of it
- If you get a good overclocker, it'll compete with more expensive cards Link
...750 Ti:
- Less expensive with rebate, though deal expires rather soon (July 7th)
- Consumes less power, but your 650W should handle both.
- Shadowplay, lets you capture videos using GPU, and as such the performance hit is small. Useless, if you don't capture videos.
- WoW favours nvidia, but 270 probably still takes the cake in performance.

AMD has their own recording feature now called GameDVR.

^ I see. That makes it even more of a no-brainer.
