    Pre-built new gaming computer - $1,000 budget

    I'm looking for a new gaming computer for WoW - WoD. I'd like it to run with no issues on ultra settings. I'd rather not build it myself because I have never done it before. Is the computer below sufficient for what I'm looking for?

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-amd-fx-series-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/5574049.p?id=1219143550897&skuId=5574049&st=pcmcat287600050002_categoryid$abcat0501000&cp= 1&lp=1

    This runs right @ $800.00. Then I would grab a $200 monitor.

    AMD 6-Core FX-6300 Processor
    8GB DDR3 SDRAM
    Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive
    6MB L3 cache memory
    1TB Serial ATA III hard drive (7200 rpm)
    NVIDIA GTX 750Ti graphics (2 GB dedicated)
    3 USB 3.0 and 3 USB 2.0 ports
    Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n)
    Built-in Realtek 8111E 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN
    Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit operating system preinstalled

    yeah that will play it on ultra, I would grab a SSD a couple months down the road though just for good measure, and an after market cooler for the processor if it doesn't come with one.
    Processor:Intel I5 8600 @ 3.5Ghz
    Ram:G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) ddr4
    GPU: EVGA SC 1070
    some other stuff i can't remember eh

    Sure, it'll run on ultra. Question is, will it run at any good FPS@Ultra? The simple answer is no. Wait for some more answers, alot of people here are good at computers and they'll help you find a better one for the same price most likely. And if you're not 100% against building the computer yourself, I'd recommend doing that because you'll get such a better computer for the same price and it's not very hard.
    I can't recommend any computer at that price so I'll leave that to others

    It will 'play' on ultra, but will definitely struggle in raids.

    The question is, would you consider building? It's easy to do these days, and much cheaper/better. This build blows the above setup out of the water for a few bucks less, and you'll save another $60 on taxes.

    i may try to build it myself i will get a better system.

    Yes you will have everything you need. There's even an aftermarket cooler in there(The Evo 212) that will allow you to OC your cpu for even more power . I would recommend watching a guide or something about OCing it if you don't have any experience with that.

    Slower and $250 more. The only thing better is the GPU, which won't really matter.

    It's an "OEM" card for builders only. It's a rebadged 670.
