    You have a PCI_E slot to upgrade your graphics.

    For WoW you also should get more RAM:

    Memory:
    Minimum: 512 MB RAM (1GB for Vista users)
    Recommended: 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users)
    Video:
    Minimum: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM Such as an ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better
    Recommended: 3D graphics processor with Vertex and Pixel Shader capability with 128 MB VRAM Such as an ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT class card or better
    WoW -> Info -> F.A.Q. -> Technology


    What is your budget here? How much do you want to spend?

    Yes that should run WoW and fit your computer.

    Also I'd suggest adding another 512MB of RAM.

    Anyway I was looking at Newegg:

    Newegg.com - PCI Express 2.0 x16, Desktop Graphics / Video Cards, Video Cards & Video Devices, Computer Hardware

    And RAM:

    Newegg.com - Memory, DDR Memory, SDRAM Memory, Computer Memory, Computer RAM, DDR RAM, Memory Stick, Memory Upgrades

    You can use the filters on the left menu to choose price ranges etc.

    jephree is offline ¨*·.¸ «.·°·..·°·.» ¸.·*¨
    Memory

    Type
    400-MHz (PC2-3200) and 533-MHz (PC2-4300) DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM non-ECC
