    WoW: Video Card + Power Supply

    I've decided to start playing World of Warcraft and i need a video card. I'd like something that will allow me to do any type of raids without any lag at all, if i have to use some lower settings then that's fine.
    System spec: Intel Pentium E5200 dual core 2.5Ghz Cpu, 2GB Ram and some crappy factory motherboard that has a PCI 2.0 slot. I'll give more system specs later, i forgot the name of the software that finds your systems specifications.
    I also need a Power supply as the factory 300w definately won't be good enough. I'll set my budget at $100.00-$120.00 for both the Gpu and Psu. I just need something that will perform good for everything PVE related such as large scale raids and such.

    You're not going to escape framerate problems with that CPU no matter how beefy the GPU you buy is. And $100 will buy you a decent GPU OR PSU, not both.

    Am i basically screwed with my Intel E5200 dual core 2.5Ghz Cpu? A $70.00 Gpu and $50.00 Psu is very doable and it should get me something that will be more than enough for someone trying to play WoW. Can i get a post from someone that actually has knowledge that will help me?

    You know, I was going to come back and see what I could whip up since I posted that originally from my phone and copy/pasting links is a pain, but since I don't actually have any knowledge I guess I'll leave you to your own devices

    If you "know its doable", go find it yourself.
