    How should WoW play on this machine.

    Well as i see alot of you play WoW, i thought id ask how itll play on this new machine im getting for christmas.

    It basicly played ok on this pc (specs to the left<<) but was no where near good, and now that my PSU and other componets are starting to burn out, after i log on with my charachter and the game loads, i get a blue screen of death with white dashes and smudges instead of the actual error message.

    At Christmas im getting this system,

    PCICASE CS2600-SL Hyperline II Silver ATX Tower Case - No PSU
    Sapphire PURE CrossFire Advantage skt 939 8 channel audio
    AMD (Venice) Athlon 64Bit 3200+ Socket 939pin 512k L2cache 90nm Retail Boxed Processor
    Connect 3D X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI-E DVI VIVO
    Kingston 1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz Non-ECC CL3 (3-3-3) 184pin DIMM's (Kit of 2 x 512mb)
    Western Digital WD1200JS Caviar SE 120GB 7200RPM SATA2/300 8MB Cache - OEM
    Antec PSU True Blue 480w Blue Led Fan
    Ebuyer Extra Value System Exhaust Blower Fan
    80mm blue case cooling fan (sleeve bearing)3 Of these
    Ebuyer Extra Value Fan Filter In Blue 3 Of These

    The system will probably be running at stock, but i may be trying to unlock the 16 pipelines in this gfx card (if i find out that this failing doesnt cause damage). I may be overclocking the cpu and gfx card a bit if i can find out how much i could overclock with the cooling in my system.

    How well will this run WoW, battlegrounds etc?


    Needs new monitor / speakers / headphones / keyboard.
    Before that i need money :s

    I run WoW at max settings and a bit of AF, 1280x1024 on:
    AMD Athlon64 3500
    1GB RAM
    Nvidia Geforce 6800GT

    I just get a bit of lag loading the big citys, but that's expected when it has 100 player models to load
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    It's been ages since I've fiddled with my spec or changed anything, so I can't even remember all that I have, but I run WoW on 1600x1200 full effects (expcet AA or AF I think) all bars whacked up and I rarely see any drops below 30fps which is not even noticible to the naked eye...

    DFI Infinity nForce 4 board or whatever it is
    Athlon XP2500-m
    1GB Crucial non "uber" fast memory
    128MB 9600XT

    That's it. Nothing uber, and it runs fine!
