Ah yes I forgot about that. Thanks for bringing that up.

He should be able to get the key and download a 64bit ISO for 7 though right? I'm pretty sure 32bit and 64bit keys are interchangeable on 7.

Just checked. Key will work for both versions. Get Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and it will pull the key. Find an ISO of 7 64bit and good to go on 8GB.

EDIT: Parts wise you could go with something like this.

- AMD A8-3870K $120
- ASUS 6670 $100 Teamed with APU for 6690D2
- 8GB DDR3 $50
- ASROCK Mobo $75 Picked mATX just in case.
- Antec 300 w/ PSU $100
- Pick up a 120GB SSD on sale somewhere or on these forums.

Total: ~ $500-550

I think, throwing money on gfx card would be more beneficial than onto the CPU. I would suggest you get these:

HD 6850 for 149$ or HD 6870 for 169$ and of course, hd 6870 is around 10-15% faster than HD 6850 and only 20$ more expensive.

Phenom x4 965 for 120$

ASrock motherboard for 60$

Get 2 pieces of 2GB memory (1600 mhz ddr3) and that would cost you 30-40$ at most.

Get a case worth 40$ (some good ones out there)

Antec 450W worth 40$

Around 439$ with HD 6850 and 459$ with HD 6870 and you can use DVD rom and Hard drive which you already have...

CPU: i5-3450 ($190)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=70543&vpn=BX80637I53450&manufacture=Intel&promoid=1015
If you're near a microcenter, you can get this for about $45 less. An i3-2100 would probably be just as good for WoW, and save you some money. It's a dual-core processor w/hyperthreading compared to the i5's true-quad-core and slightly newer architechture.

Motherboard: Asrock b75 ($73 rebate)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157313

CPU Cooler: Stock Intel cooler.

RAM: 2x4gb 1333mhz ($40)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231424
You can only use 4gb of ram due to windows 7 32-bit. But if you later get windows 8 (or join the windows 8 trial program), you'll be happy you have 8gb. And it's only like $15 more.

GPU: EVGA 460 ($97)
http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp?switch=20 (bottom of page!)
+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198022
(thanks poster below. Getting two would be silly though.)

Case: Bit Fenix Outlaw ($45)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=63255&vpn=BFC%2DOLW%2D100%2DKKN1%2DRP&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1223
Case is largely a matter of personal preference. This is a decent budget case that's not wacky looking. If you want shiny, wacky, with blue LEDs, look at the Zalman z9 or z11 cases.

PSU: Antec Neo Eco 450c ($35)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=60491&vpn=NEO%2DECO450C&manufacture=Antec&promoid=1223

HDD: Seagate 500gb ($65)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=63468&vpn=ST500DM002&manufacture=Seagate&promoid=1015
Only like $20 to double the size to a 1TB, and another $25 or so to go to 2TB, depending on your space needs. Also, SSD not included, but might be nice if you have more $$ later.

DVD-burner ($10)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=60731&vpn=GH22NS70&manufacture=LG%20Electronics%20USA&promoid=1223

Total: $555
not included: speakers/headphones/mic/other peripherals, but I assume you have those. you might be able to re-use your PSU (if it's a decent model), but at this point you might as well give your computer away to a relative or neighborhood kid rather than just junk it.

This setup should play WoW smoothly at maximum graphics settings even if you upgrade to a better monitor.

Major upgrades to consider in the near future:

($235-240) A quality IPS 23" monitor like the Dell Ultrasharp u2313hm. As a bonus: your old monitor becomes a nice non-gaming adjunct so you don't have to alt-tab out to visit wowhead or the guild website or mess with ventrilo volume settings (is wowhead still around?).

($120) A 128gb SSD, which will give the programs you place upon it zoom-zoom fast load times. And that's all it will do. (Edit: but for MMOs like WoW, it can provide some minor in-game benefits when the game loads graphics on-the-fly). If you don't feel like your HDD is too small with your current computer, you could get just this and not the HDD above.

The a8-3870k build is bad. Not only is it significantly weaker than either the build I offered or shadowboss', but it doesn't even make sense beyond that. An APU will perform better with 1866 mermory, which isn't that expensive, and the poster selected 1600mhz memory as if it was an intel system.

Shadowboss' build is decent, but he could do better on a few components by going outside of newegg & it didn't seem to me that the OP was looking to spend time learning to/perfecting an overclock, which would make an i3 build a better processor for the same price or a sandy bridge pentium a better processor for cheaper.
