We can tailor something for your needs if you answer these questions:

• Budget
• Resolution
• Games / Settings Desired
• Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
• Country
• Parts that can be reused
• Do you need an OS?
• Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?

Okay, so I currently have a computer I want to upgrade, I built it a few years ago and I stopped using it because it started to poop on me and I just flat out quit WoW. Now that I am back. Ive been wanting to raid 20+ man and with the current system I have raiding is not fun due to low frame rates.

So because of budget issues I can't really build a new computer and I rather reuse some of the parts I already have. I know these parts are very outdated but I would like to see if I can savage them.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 at 2.66GHz (2CPUs), ~2.7GHz
MB: P5N-T Deluxe
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT
RAM: 4.00 GB (Not sure what brand)
Monitor: Gateway HD2201 22"
Case: ULTRA E-Torque Black ATX
PSU: Thermaltake TR2-430W
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper N520

I had to do some digging around, but im pretty sure these are all the parts I have.

Also, I turned it on today for the first time in over a year, I have a picture of the screen but I can't link on here yet. After restarting, it fixed itself, I've turned it on and off a few times and the monitor sometimes doesn't read the gpu and it doesn't turn on. I've had problems with the Motherboard before, and one of the ports on it is bad, so I believe it could be the motherboard but I really don't know.

Budget: $450
Resolution: 1680x1050 if I can go higher I would like that
Games / Settings Desired: World of Warcraft
Country: US
Parts that can be reused: Yes
Do you need an OS? No, I have a 64bit Windows 7 that I can use.

You can't really use the old stuff they are dated, you can probably re-use the case. This is what i would look at as a ballpark if you can handle the rebates:

The RAM is still out of stock, not sure why PCP isn't picking up on it.
