Wiped this up fast, kinda hard from phone through rdp client. The issue with wow is that its poorly optimized and cpu heavy so being too cheap has a serious impact.
@1080p/60fps This should allow her to play on high/ultra minus a few settings, idk how well it will handle heavily populated area's but its ready for BoA expansion this summer.
Case is a bit larger then some of the smaller ones but it allows me to use a full size psu so theres no premium price for one. (also the case itself cheap)
I'd opt for the 2600 cpu version if the mobo's were 100% compatible out of the box but they just aren't and theres not a huge increase in performance for the cost imo as were already over budget.


i'll be honest, i've never dealt with AMD processors, are they any good or comparable to the i7's?/I5/I3 with her current setup she does okay, large raids are hard at times...

Well you could go i5 8400
Considering wow does like intel cpus unless there had been a patch for ryzen but doubt it

The Intel chips defiantly are better but you'll pay more for it.
Remember your saying she has issues now with current setup and this is far superior to that.

/edit
actually its cheaper, though wow prefers higher single core performance.

Yeah, at that price piont you won't find better.
Can change out SSD for cheaper or higher but the performance difference won't matter much.
Those patriot drives are really good price to performance ratio wise. My kids use them.
