GFX: ATI 4870 X2 2Gb Ram
PSU: 1000Watt
HD: 2 Seagate Baraccudas 200GB
MB: Asus M3A21-MVP
RAM: 4GB Crucial Balistix
Disc Drive: 2 Asus Light scribe Drives
Case: ThermalTake Kandalf LCS

Pretty sure it's also watercooled.
Main concern is the processor, given that wow is more CPU intensive than GPU...So any thoughts/comments/suggestions appreciated.

I had a system with the 9950 in it, not overclocked, and it actually limited my fps in northrend just flying out in the open. I was using a Radeon HD4890 as well so it could easily deal with the settings back in Wrath. When I built my new system with the i7 my fps went up dramatically in all areas, especially crowded places, and this with the same HD4890 graphics card.

First Phenoms (the four digit ones) are well-known to be rather unimpressive and underperforming, so I wouldn't touch that setup for WoW use. Also £550 is rather high price for anything 3+ years old.
Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.
