    How will WoW play?

    Hey guys, I just had a quick question if anyone could help me: I used to play WoW on a crappy old Dell Laptop that could barely handle LFR. It broke down a year and a half ago, and I haven't played since. I got an awesome job, and now I'll finally be able to finish my build next week. Is it possible to give a rough estimate of how WoW will run, possibly on High if it's possible? (I've never run it on anything but low) I'll have and i7 4770k with a GTX 780. Thanks in advance!

    It's a bit overkill for wow (or rather, overspent >.>) but it's pretty much the best available. You should be able to get 45-55 stable fps in 25's on High/Ultra with some minor tweaking and overclocking

    Is that pretty good? Is it the highest possible, or is it really worth trying to push more fps? I think the highest I've ever been (on the crappy laptop) was maybe 12fps, so I don't really know what the upper echelons are like.

    There's nothing you can really do to push it further (beyond whatever OC the CPU and board will support)
