Good pc for world of warcraft


New pc for wow

Hodin:

I use 2560 x 1440 and 165 hz for my screen

Would like to play flawless on setting 10

Forget that.
There is no current system that can handle stable high refreshrates on settings 10.
You will possess massive drops at the superbloom, world events, raids, Valdrakken hub.

The problem is the WoW engine at it’s core, it’s basically singlethreaded for the most part.
Even the 7800X3D, the fastest CPU for gaming and WoW atm won’t give you what you want

I’m on a 5800X3D and just recently got a 4090.
I am not playing at max settings, especially draw distance and environmental detail, also compute effects and RT shadows are killing the CPU and bottlenecking the GPU hard.

If i max everything out i drop to like 100 FPS while in the new Zone just questing (1440P, 144Hz gsync).

This screenshot is with draw distance and lod at 8. Compute at high and water good.
RT shadows on high (add ~10 FPS if disabled).
Lowest FPS was 33 at a point during the Superbloom.
Unyielding CPU-Limit.

So my recommendation is to get the 7800X3D, 32GB 6000Mhz DDR5, Gen 4 nvme, and for the GPU whatever you can afford, like a 4070 e.g. (too many problems with AMD, would not recommend fo

Any advice on a gaming PC?

Buying a new PC on the next week. Up to $5k to spend. It’s really hard to get third party reviews these days on the web as everyone is a paid affiliate and so they’re biased.

WOW is about 50% of my gaming and I know it doesn’t require a major build to max perform but the other games I play do and I do want WoW on MAX settings.

4090 still the best of the best?
Intel or AMD?
Best RAM/MB right now?

My gaming PC is 8 years old so I have no idea what’s out there now really. Anything else out there that is an absolutely just have in 2024? Or joins I just buy it direct from someone like Alienware or Starforge?

Thanks in advance.

You can customize every piece and they’ll build it for you.

Anyone can tell you alienware is fancy looking but waaaaaaay overpriced . Also, if you have a problem with your p c and have to do a factory reset, it can be challenging if not impossible without paying. Buy a backup if you do. The custom cases do not like to be reset.

That’s great if I knew what the best customizable pieces were. Any input there?

Best PCs for World of Warcraft in 2025: Top-rated laptops and desktops for Blizzard's MMO

World of Warcraft isn't just one of Blizzard Entertainment's best PC games, it's a genre-defining game that has revolutionized MMORPGs and the gaming industry at large.

World of Warcraft is one of Blizzard's finest works as its only one of the best PC games in its library, it has revolutionized the MMORPG genre into what it is today.

For over 21 years and ten expansions (the most being "The War Within"), World of Warcraft has reigned supreme as king of MMORPGs with millions of subscribers playing the game daily. This is thanks to the game's massive immersive world, iconic art direction, decades worth of compelling stories and characters, an engrossing combat system, and titantic boss fights.

As this game has received over two decades of content patches and graphical updates, you will need a mighty PC to experience World of Warcraft's superb art and gameplay at their best.

There are a lot of PCs to select from for the job, so I have spent dozens of hours testing them to see which ones are the best PCs worth running World of Warcraft on.

My favorite one is the Maingear MG-1 for its larg
