I actually have a question about the $700 and the $1000 builds. I am currently going from a laptop to a desktop, so I will have to buy monitors, keyboards, mouse, etc in order to have a working desktop. The intent is for gaming for the near future, but mostly now. I am currently working with a laptop that gives me 1 fps during the Beth'tilac fight - which means no going to the raid even. So I need a computer that will not slow down and will give me good fps even during heavy CPU or GPU loads. I don't care if I'm there first in loading screens, I just want to have whatever I need to handle normal 10-man raids.
With that in mind, will the $700 build give me whatever is a good amount of fps during raids in WoW? Or do I need to go up to $1000 in order to get that level of performance? If I get the $700, will it be compatible with the 8GB memory from the $1000 build? Will the $700 build be "future-proof" or at least have the minimum needed to handle newer games besides WoW? Can someone just compare/contrast the two in terms of what each gives and whether its necessary to buy the $1000 or the $700?
Thank you in advance for anyone who helps!
