What reolustion will you be using? Wow does not require that much, but I would hesitate to use anything less than a 560.

Actually I did call and upgrade to the 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB (Includes PhysX) (EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-KR). Called and changed after reading horrible reviews on the 550. Sorry I left that out. I'm hoping to be able to max out WOW.
