I have little to no experience in building a computer and don't mind spending the extra money buying a pre-built computer. I built a cyberpower PC and want to know how well it will run ultra on WoW. 

Specs: 

• CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2500K 3.30 GHz 6M Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 (All Venom OC Certified) [-106]
• HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
• MEMORY: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (Kingston HyperX)
• MOTHERBOARD: * [CrossFireX] GigaByte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Intel Smart Response Tech. & 7.1 Dolby Home Theater Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, 2x SATA-III RAID, mSATA Connector onboard, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 3 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI (All Venom OC Certified) [+0]
• SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
• VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 16X PCIe Video Card [+16] (Major Brand Powered by AMD)

WoW doesn't have particularly steep video requirements, so you could back that off to a 6770.  I wouldn't be as fast to compromise on the CPU because mumorpuggers always need more CPU.  Though I'm kind of puzzled that you're getting an overclocker's CPU, yet can't be bothered to build from parts.

Cyberpower's house brand power supplies are absolute garbage, and they like to insist you buy larger name brand ones than you need.  If you want to go through them, go ahead pay the outside $77 for a Corsair 650TX or buy a decent 400W aftermarket and install it yourself.

Dell will sell you an XPS 8300 with a Core i5 and Radeon 6770 for around $850.  It's not overclockable, the CPU isn't upgradeable in any way worth mentioning, and the case doesn't have more ventilation than you absolutely need, but the hardware is decently made all around and the price is reasonable.

Honestly man, most cellphones and tablets could run WoW if only they had a keyboard & mouse. Any new economy PC w/ minimal video card upgrade should be able to max out your graphics. What other games are you trying to run?

Avoid them like the plague.

 Just got my smoking hot cyberpower PC from newegg, and had to call in for a refund.

 Newegg tells me to deal with Cyberpower first, So I attempt to contact them for RMA.

Takes them exactly 17 days to reply,

 The computer had every symptom possible for a failed PSU.

Yet, they instructed me to BUY A NEW GRAPHICS CARD because they did not have a rep in hawaii top test it. And i would have to do it to rule out the graphics card.

Ok i buy the stupid graphics card. Install it, Exact same problems.

 Email them back for a tech support phone number, and the degenerate tells me to test the RAM first.

So, all night long I am running this stupid memory test, and every stick was failing.

 Cyberpowers solution? Buy new ram and test it. STILL no tech support phone number.

OK, I have 2 sticks of ddr3 from my old computer. I put them in, and all teh same errors are happening.

Now, the hard disk starts to fail from the PSU cooking it,

Cyber powers response? Re-install Windows 7! STILL WILL NOT GIVE ME THE TECH SUPPORT NUMBER!

ok well, I am stuck jumping through the little hoops , so I humor the degenerate. And  i re-install windows.

PAP, POP, PAP PAP PAP, POP! *smoke*, PSU finally wheezes its final breath.

 OK cyberpower decides it MIGHT be the PSU, so they issue me an RMA so they can "investigate".

RMA, requires me to ship it to them AT MY OWN EXPENSE,

Thats right! They make you pay for their mistakes.

Go back to NewEgg for some help, and WHAM! They let me know my warranty expired at midnight yesterday.

20 years of buying DELL systems, and I have never had anything remotely as stupid as the episode with NewEgg+Cyberpower.

NewEgg rep tells me I never contacted them on day 1.

Me myself I would stay with the video card you want makes it alot easier to upgrade for something better later on down the line! Plus you may have other games later that need that much power for vid card. All in all I dont see a problem with it!
