Affordable gaming computer for World Of Warcraft?

I need a computer that can run world of warcraft smoothly 50+ framerates all over the game. Any cheap computers that can do this. Please specify brand name and computer and its type and how many frames per second it get. Thanks!
Best Answer:  How cheap would you like it to be?
I would recommend spending at least around $700-800 for something decent.
I would say in this price point the best bet is AMD based machine either on Athlon II or Phenom II processors with frequency 3.0Ghz+ or overclocked. AMD is cheaper by a fat margin for computers below $1000. 4GB RAM is recommended today - no more no less. Windows 7 and any games will be smooth with 4GB and will rarely need more. Video card - while ATI 4670 or Nvidia GT 240 will be adequate, it's recommended to have something like 9800GT or ATI 5670, or better 5750. If you could get GTX 460 it would be absolute maximum you'll ever need for WOW.
Add case with good cooling, preferably aftermarket CPU cooler, 500+GB HDD and dvd recorder. You may need 500+W power supply from reliable brands like Antec , Cooler Master, Corsair, same brands are recommended for cases. Motherboard - 785G or 770 is enough and great at the same time - brands: MSI, Biostar cheaper ones, ASUS, Gigabyte more expensive.
Now setup with Athlon II X2 240 overclocked to 3.4Ghz with 4GB RAM and GT 240 will run WOW on 50-60FPS most of the times with occasional drop to 30FPS in most intense areas - but you'll not notice it easily. Upping CPU to Phenom II 555 and video to ATI 5750 will provide constant 50+ FPS.

I recommend Centaurus Computers - they have low prices and excelelnt quality, I would say the best around. They use parts I would use for my computer myself. Also they unlock cores on AMD as well as overclock CPU, RAM and video cards fro free. With free shipping and 3 year warranty they are the best. They have WOW optimized gaming computers - real ones, not Dellcrap. Paladin model is perfect for $799 shipped
