With a recent move and job change I decided to take a break from wow after raiding a little in seige of org, however I miss it like crazy and I am wanting to return when Warlords of Draenor releases. I feel that this historic return warrants a new build and stumbled across this build and it looked like a nice setup to me, however I am not an expert, so how well would this computer fair in the coming expansion. I will be trying to get back into raiding. This budget is around $600-650 without a case or operating system so any counter builds would need to be similar in price.
