Hey I'm building a new pc for my brother, his budget is 1000$ canadian. He wants to get as many frames as possible for wow, what is a build that will run wow at crazy amounts of frames on ultra all the time for 1000$ canadian through raids and pvp?

I actually thought you were going to build a computer aided design pc and use it to play WoW...I guess a r9 380 or 390 with an I5 would work

You know how it is, the cow goes "moo", the dog goes "woof" and the gamer goes "The PvP is unbalanced."

raids as in data/storage are unnecessary. If you meant game wise just head over to pcpartpicker.com and look through some builds or just search the forum as many topics on this have been covered. But wow needs 600 not 1000 but here you go, tweak to your desire

edit, oops wrong mobo for a k series cpu

There you go, Should play wow on ultra no problem

That's not good for the money. You can get a 6500 and a good 380

On WoW? Like a million. Seriously, if you're raiding, WoW is more about CPU than GPU. The graphics in WoW are easy enough for a 280 to handle--and I'm referring to a GTX 280.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Eh, just a nice thing to have. 8 is going to now be slowly phased out, so might as well be ready.

These are all good builds but I have seen my cousin's r9 380 go down to 30-40 frames in elwyn forest and that bummed me out, also I've never really liked that card all that much but the X version I like more. Also what if I gave him my old build can it run wow ultra at really high frames like 60++++ it's 3.5 GHZ quad core apu a10 7800, 8 gb ram 1tb 7200rpm r9 280x

A 380 is essentially a refreshed 280x though...

The 960 is slower than the 380, so yes, it is.

I have seen a youtube video where the guy benchmarks a 960 in elwyn forest at 90 frames and my cousin in that area with a 380 was hitting like 40 or 60 frames so that was odd to me so i decided to stay away from the 380

If they want that, I tend to lean towards nvidia for the features 

 

Also amd tends to do worse in wow than nvidia
