Hi im asking for christmas a new desktop computer. The one im using is fine but people use it sometimes and when i play WoW on it the FPS will sometimes drop fast. It is an I-Mac from about 2007. My HP laptop plays WoW on max settings but i dont like playing on a laptop. The desktop im building i want it to play WoW on max settings and also to have a very long lifetime. I made it on newegg.com heres the link to it.

I looked at the specs and yes they do go together, except that your 500GB hard-disk is made for notebooks, I do not know if it will work on this one, chances are that it will.
Also, I haven't noticed a CPU, you have one already?

One last thing, be sure to ask others too, don't fully count on me, I may be wrong, but did my best.
Also nice PC you got there, inexpensive and does the job.

Edit: If you do not have a CPU, check the motherboard's specs. It says that the CPU's supported by this motherboard are Phenom II / Athlon II / Sempron 100 Series.
Re-check @ newegg
 
should all work out, as said above there isnt a cpu listed, that is the most important part...I myself (unless you have the $1000 to spend on an i7) recommend amd phenom II x6 1055T

But why the phenom? I would've gone with Athlon, I -think- they are slightly better.
And btw, will the notebook hard-disk work on his desktop computer? (I have a notebook one attached to my desktop pc, it works, but it varies from motherboard to another)

Just looking through the components of your laptop, I'm sure that it'll be able to handle WoW smoothly and games like it. The only thing you might need is some more Hard-Drive space.
 
Sorry guys forgot to list the CPU. Im pretty close to getting a Phenom x6. what would be the best for WoW?
 
Also can newegg build this computer for me? if not can you pleased tell me someone that can?

For a laptop that's a pretty good model, you should be able to play any new games that have recently come out perfectly fine. The only thing I would suggest is buying a separate web cam if you plan on using one. That one isn't very good quality.
 
Get a better PSU than a 350 watt, go with a 600-700 watt PSU, a 350 watt will not be able to run that gtx 460 much less your other components.
You might want to look into getting a headset instead of speakers if you are going to be gaming a lot.
