    WoD Computer

    Hello my friends.
    I'm in the market for the most cost efficient computer that meets the recommended specifications for Warlords of Draenor. The computer is intended for a second location and does not need to be able to run anything more demanding than warlords. The computer will not see enough use to warrant putting more money into it than is required. The problem is that I am severely tech impaired when it comes to hardware and have no idea how to put this stuff together myself so I was hoping one of you gentlemen or gentlewomen could assist me here.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470, ATI Radeon HD 5870 or better
    If a huge leap in performance can be attained by a small bump in price (say less than 10%) then that is passable.
    Bonus points if you're making a shopping list on a swedish company's website like Webhallen, Komplett or Proshop. Any other site is fine too as long as delivery to Sweden is fine without any hassle.

    Thanks o/

    Could save some money with a cheaper mobo I guess, but this one gives you a clear upgrade path should you ever choose to do so for little extra expense. The G3258 is Haswell based and if you overclock it will spank WoW. (There's plenty of "how to" over clocking videos on youtube if you've never done it.) You could save some money on the GPU too... if you really wanted to. But it's a good price on a great card, hard to pass that up.

    Does Germany ship to Sweden? I assume they do... no idea... anyways, closest I could find. Least the prices are in Euro's which should give you an idea on conversion rates.

    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.
