I plan to play WoW on release, but before I get that i definitley need a new comp to enjoy it. I have 256 mb of ram 2.0 processor and some 64mb video card, and no it doesnt play anything nvidia can play so it really sucks. Can some one point me in the right direction, because right now i have a customized computer off
www.cyberpowerinc.com . But I would imagine there is a way cheaper way to get a computer of that quality, can some one build me a computer off new egg, like online, or osmething like that. Because I don't really know too much about computers, thanks in advanced.

i would say get atleast 1 gig of memory. if you really want a gaming system you need 2 spend some cash. i just built one cost me $2500.00 and thats with a mid-grade video card and 1 gig of pc-3200 memory.
If you really want a nice gaming system that will play games like a champ 2 maybe 3 years down the line you will need 2 spend 3 grand.

I am going to buy myself a new computer also this fall and there are lots of things to consider:
AMD/Intel
ATI/Geforce
...and so on. Its lots of information to dig in to but luckily I solve the problem by having a bunch of knowledgeble friends buying new comp at the same time which also will give me a better price.

I would really recommend a uppgrade pack instead of a new computer.
Your CPU is fine. Upgrade ram to 1 gig. And also a new graphic card. Radeon 9800 is a great card and you wont need a pro.
The good thing with a uppgrade pack is that you get a motherboard and maor ram plus a cpu and a fan. Also you won't have to worry about compability since the all the hardware that comes in the pack will work with each other.
I am in europe so I don't really know any good site for you to check out. But I usally use this one www.pricerunner.com You only have to search for what you want and it will show you a list from the cheapest to the most exopensive. It will also give you reviews of what people who has got the equipment before thought about what they bought.

If you don't want to go all the way up to 1 gig Ram, 512mb is perfectly fine. I have that and have all the current settings on high and no graphical lag even in the outdoor areas. But you do need a good graphics card though.
I just got a new computer off of www.cyberpowerinc.com and i love it, not a to mention i got a great price id say.
specs:
512ddr ram (i upgraded it later to a gig)
ati x800 pro
athlon 64 3200+
80 gig hd
with tax and shipping for 1300$, if thats not a deal i dont no what is. I wouldnt be so afraid to buy from cyberpower, there great.
