Are you using a HDD or SSD?  I would think that system with an SSD can play WoW fine on low settings.  Stutter may be from HDD loading.

 

Buddy and his wife played WoW on 1700x + 1050Ti for years before they got their 3800x + 3080 systems.  So I know it works pretty well.

That should handle it ok.  High-resolution settings can be tough, but that game scales well.  Bring the graphics settings down to 6-7 on the slider.

 

EDIT: SSD is a valid question, that will drag anything down these days.

She is currently playing on Graphic Quality 3 and is playing on an SSD. D: thats the problem. My dad has a higher resolution and is playing on a HDD and his game runs better xD

For a brand new PC, Something like this should be enough. I'd spend a tad bit more for parts that aren't as crude, especially motherboard and case. Better options open up with some 50eur making some 450eur build. Budget even allows extra 100eur.

But if you already have a 1050ti that can nicely change things and set up a computer that you can upgrade easily without headaches down the line.

 

Something like this would be a very good investement. Plenty of juice to run WoW, will look good and have plenty of space for an upgrade downt he line, especially one for a GPU. PSU has all the cables needed and case should be good enough even for hungrier cards like the 30 series NVIDIA/6000 AMD cards.

If you're keeping the 1050Ti, I would just toss a better CPU on that motherboard.  Nothing else would help, as the RAM and SSD are fine. 

 

New CPU, fresh install of Windows and WoW.  Easy.

I think we need to look at what his true issue is, not replace it all.  Especially the RAM is fine, why are you having him buy new RAM?

 

He has this, we need to use as much as we can:

 

CPU :Intel Core i3 10100F 4x 3.60GHz So.1200

GPU : MSI H510M-A PRO So.1200 mATX Retail
RAM : 16GB (2x 8GB) Crucial Ballistix RGB schwarz DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16
GPU : 1050ti

I understood as him only having a 1050ti to carry over and has just picked out other parts he wants to start with. Makes more sense that he has a 10 series Intel CPU not that he wants to buy a 10 generation now that 13th in out. We can keep the RAM and maybe use that instead to get a motherboard that's capable of overcloking incase they decide to ket a K series CPU later down the line? Got a lot of options.

If he indeed has all that he lists, the only real issue is the CPU.  And maybe a bloated Windows install.  SSD + 16GB 3200MHz RAM + 1050Ti is more than adequate for WoW.  

 

The 10100 is the issue and needs a drop in 10400F maybe.

 

Otherwise we're just going to suggest SDD + 16GB RAM + 1050Ti and new mobo/CPU?

 

WoW runs on anything, so we don't need to go nuts.  Mobo and OC?  Not for his mom

Technically we can upgrade everything but my mom would prefer to not buy everything new. So my thought was to maybe just upgrade cpu motherboard and ram. Obviously it would be better if we dont need to buy anything new but i am not sure if we can work with that. in the next few days i will fresh install windows 10 and wow. i will keep you guys updated

What you're not seeing is that you would replace your RAM with.... the exact same RAM.  We recommend 3200MHz CL16 all the time here.  Motherboard is fine too.

 

Just get a new CPU, and try that out. Since you're talking about a tight budget, it's worth a shot as it's the only piece I can see being the issue. 

 

If you want to replace stuff, go nuts. But realize why or why not.
