WoW at ultra with dual monitors won't be possible at a 900$ budget... Anyway try something out yourself @ www.ibuypower.com - Google things, read things up.. We can help you but we can't build a configuration for everyone.. Also where do you live, and what components that you have now can be re-used?

well i wanted to duel monitor so i could play wow on one and have Firefox open in another. so if i was leveling an alt i could have quicker acsess to a wowhead. aslo i should have said not a max settings just anything thats better than what i have now (i play on min on everything) i live in NY and i have no parts cause i currently use a T60 leveno laptop to play WoW

Right well, try something out at the site I said. For 900 dollars incl. sound/printer/monitor/mouse/keyboard as well won't get you a PC to run on Ultra.

ok will do. aslo i will be saving since i already have a keyboard/monitor/mouse that i use with my laptop since the 14" screen is to small and the keyboard is to small

That is what I could gather fast on Newegg.com. Since you live in the US, you can probably find a computer store that can make you a little bit better with their bulk prices but that should be what you get or around for that price. (Quite amazing compared to Canada)

I would still try to get a Quad core over a Dual core, even if it costs a little bit more.

i have a copy of windows 7 64bit. what would i need special to run it?

Nothing special. All modern CPU's support 64-bit

ok thanks, thought you had to have a special 64bit stuff.

Setup that was recommended looks pretty decent for your budget... However, as already mentioned, you should pay a little bit extra and get a quad core. May not make a huge difference right now, but it definitely will later on.

You could... Get the cheapest one which would be this Athlon and it would only be $10 more than the dual core that was recommended:

You could get a mid-range Phenom for $150:

or go all out with the fastest AMD cpu available for $180:

My recommendation is go all out so you don't have to worry about upgrading your CPU for many years to come.

Swap GPU to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150447 and PSU to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005 and maybe consider an AM3 mobo/DDR3.
