and do you think there is any space for upgrades. By playing wow i mean atleast 60 fps constantly. Or should i just build a better 1 for about >$1000 what am i better off doing?

with a budget of $1000.00 you can build a computer that will play wow as good as it can be played ! period

but is that comp worth getting to play wow with? and is there a good graphics card i can upgrade to?

yeah that computer will play wow in a decent fashion ........ however when you add a mac daddy video card like the ATI 4850 who knows if the power supply they include with those budget boxes can handle the task ..... most likely not

so now we are at video card $150.00 and high quality power supply $120.00 >>>>>> I think you see where this is headed ?

the way the set-up is will play wow in decent 45fps ..... maybe even 55 fps ....... but each upgrade and patch drops it down a notch ?
