    Is this gaming setup worth it?

    Hello!

    I am able to buy this gaming setup for aprox. 625$ from a friend, but I am just wondering how well it would handle wow and maybe even GW2

    Specs:
    ASUS B85M-G, Socket-1150 m-ATX, B85, DDR3, 1xPCIe-x16, VGA, DVI, HDMI, Haswell

    ASUS GeForce GTX 760 2GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 3.0, "DirectCU II OC", GDDR5, DL-DVI-I+DL-DVI-D, HDMI, DP

    Cooler Master G600, 600W PSU ATX 12V V2.3, 80 Plus Bronze, Modular, 4x 6+2pin PCIe, 8x SATA, 6x Molex, 1x FD

    Intel Core i5-4570 Processor Socket-LGA1150, Quad Core, 3.2GHz, 6MB, 84W, HD4600, Boxed w/fan, Haswell

    Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 8GB 1600MHz 2x4GB KIT CL9 HyperX Beast

    WD Desktop Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB, 7200RPM, 3.5"

    Monitor:
    24'' ASUS 1ms skærm (VN247H).

    As far as my computer knowledge goes, it should be a decent setup for playing wow and at a very reasonable price

    What case he got and any aftermarket cooler? Don't think its worth it if you are in US cause you can almost get new and better. Only the monitor is what makes it go over. F.ex. the following rig is new, better for cheaper and i can probably make it less expensive to have similar performance to the above if needed:

    You can get a new IPS 23-24" monitor for like 130-140 bucks. So buying new would be around 100-120bucks more expensive. Unless you don't have a pc at all and 600$ was too much for you already i would not buy it. If i would have to give an estimate of what i would give for it, it would be less than 500$.

    I am from Denmark, I just converted the price to USD as everyone then can convert it to their own easily.

    The CPU, which you found, costs 220$ in Denmark and the GPU @ 175$ is 239$ in Denmark

    This might help to compare the prices and the total of 625$, which I would be paying for the above system
