Hello all, my 5 year old dell has bit the dust on me and I am in the market for a new computer. I’m not really wanting to build my own I would just like to go and pick one up or order one and have it sooner than a month. The only stores we have here with computers are Sam's Club and BestBuy. I’ve been playing wow on this setup every since I got the computer over 5 years ago. Whenever I am not raiding I run a pally on my main monitor with 4 shamans on my second monitor (all low graphics) so I need something that will be able to do that, and possibly on higher than the lowest setting.
This is my old specs on the computer that just died on me

It’s almost $900 after the taxes and I’m just assuming I can get a much better computer for this amount of money. I don’t need the monitor as I already have two and i know that’s part of the cost on this machine. $900 would probably be my budget as well.
I also looked at the mega special III on cyberpowerpc but I would have to wait about 2-3 weeks for it to even ship and I’m impatient. Plus when you get into all that customization it just confuses me.
Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction? Any help would be much appreciated!!
