Answer 1

Well accoridng to your specs, your computer should be compatible with WoW's utmost performance but unfortunately, even the greatest of computers lags in Dalaran and you can't do anything about that other than change servers or avoid the populated areas!



As for raids, it should be just fine!

Answer 2

If you knew that computer was inappropriate for gaming, why would you, (A), buy that computer, then (B), immediately attempt to upgrade it to run games? I'm not sure I understand the thought process behind buying the wrong computer, then immediately attempting to make it do something it wasn't designed for. The CPU is too slow. The 220W power supply won't support any video card upgrades reliably (low profile or otherwise). It's an exercise in futility.

Answer 3

That system should run at max graphics. The video card and i3 processor should be a winner.

Answer 4

Should do but remember wow is an MMORPG so it highly populated area's and raids, dont expect too much.



EDIT: I play wow and have 3 high end machines so whoever thumbed me down is a fool.



To the asker: Remember WOW is more of a CPU intense game over GPU power so try to focus on your CPU a little more.



WOW eats up the GPU on draw distance and Shadows, mainly shadows.

Answer 6

Um hell ******* yes?

Wow is a game made in 2004, and back then it was made to run smoothly on older computers, so you should be able to run it max graphiques with no lag with out any problems at all.

Answer 7

The game is going to lag like hell on your crappy PC.
