    Looking for some opinions about a new build

    I'm pricing out some hardware for a new pc. I'd like to stay in the $700 range but I'm willing to make exceptions. This pc will strictly be for Warcraft and the browsing the internet. I will be using Windows 7. Hoping for some feedback on what I've tentativly pieced together. Thank you.

    SAPPHIRE 100289-2L Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card --- $89.99

    Few quick things:

    - It will work just fine, but still missing few parts as you probably know (like PSU).
    - There's no such thing as "just wow" when building computer, since WoW benefits significantly from high end processor.
    - Changing over to i5-2500K and suitable P67 motherboard will increase price by about $100 but it will also increase WoW's framerate by 50% in 25-man raids.
    - Make sure the RAM is 2x2 GB not 1x4GB (or 4x1GB), it's not entirely clear from the post.
    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.
