The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Developer Thoughts - Plunderstorm Game Mode and Feedback
MMO-Champion
Was taking a break and just starting to get back into understanding Shadowlands. Any inputs / help appreciated.
In WoW (only game I play); I am looking to get 60+fps (1080p) on graphics setting of high / +. I would be raiding and M+, world content. PvP very minimal.

Please do yourself a favour and at least get a 120hz monitor. You might also get stuttering with only 8GB's of RAM

Raedy yes...kinda.
I mean you can play it but it will not be pretty
Edit: Its not that bad but be ready to turn down some features. Also prepare to raid with 30fps.Last edited by Exkrementor; 2020-09-15 at 07:47 PM.

1080p 60 fps should be doable. If you dont have any other program i would say it should deliver .8gb RAM is the recommended dont listen to the other guy, 16gb is nice to have but with only wow open 8gb should be more than enough (possibly can handle discord open too).
GPU and CPU are on the lower end though , so you will have to play on lowest settings

hmm Thanks! I was hoping just by upgrading the RAM things might work out! ohh well.. I can't afford to pay $4-500 for the cpu and gpu atm so will likely have to take the hit.

No, thats not a good build. I used the same site you did, and this is what i would recommend for low entry 1080p gaming.
Now ofc, we could add more, do different setups. But if i understood your goal, not too much for 1080p gaming, and not to low budget.

From my understanding he is just showing us his build, not the build he wants to buy.

I have a couple rigs, one with way less specs than those (except the rig has 16GB ram)... and the beta runs fine at the OP's specified resolution and FPS. While the minimum specs for WoW are going up with SL, the hardware requirements for an enjoyable experience are extremely low compared to what many AAA games are asking of you.

Just upgrade ram dude and you can then save up for a new build instead. Upgrading your current build will only take you so far without having to replace everything anyways.
You could be smart about it though, things like power supply, if you buy a gold rated one for example that will last like 10 years easily. So think about stuff like that when you're doing your build.
I bought an 1000W power supply a couple of years ago wich was fully modular. So I dont have to worry about my PSU when I'm going to buy a new build later on this year.
I'm currently running 2 cards in SLI with an over clocked system otherwise 1000W would be very overkill. You should be able to do fine on 750W.
