PC build that can play WoW on max settings.

[DedricWashington]

I'm looking for help on finding a complete PC build that can play World of Warcraft on max settings at 1080p, I'll be playing other games of course, but I really need something that I can play WoW on with no issues. I built my first gaming PC about a year ago. I just wanted to play WoW on medium, maybe high setting and League of Legends (which isn't really all that demanding). Please link complete builds with compatible parts. I also prefer simple cases with maybe glass panel. My budget is $1000 no more than that so please try to keep it below that. Thank you for your time. Also here is a link to WoW's current recommended specs https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/world-of-warcraft-legion

Whats your current build? You can probably just upgrade, which would cost probably at least half of that depending on what you want.

lmao you could build a $500 system that can run WoW at max. i might be stretching the budget but i think $1000 to run WoW is a little overkill

No need for a z170 motherboard

No need for a cooler, 6400 has stock and for few bucks more get a 6500

1050ti is fine but wouldget a 1060/rx 480

Bad PSU

gtx 1060 would even be overkill, but understandable if you want to play other games in the future. seriously, no need to spend that much when you are objective is wow, 1080p max. I hear rx 470 is a good for the price. or just get an asus/evga ftw gtx 1060 6gb if you want to spend more money than needed

psu isnt really bad. just not the best, Im not looking to spend all of this guys 1000 for WoW. nothing above a 1050ti is needed and you might as well drop 20 bucks for a good cooler

well if he spends that much better future proof it than calling fire department

1st thing you should do is to get one of Intel's NIC - because of the HW offloading

yes, they are expensive but it's totally worth it

Well I was actually asking for a new build since I gave the old one to my brother.
