Re: PC gaming advice
All depends on what the gfx card is, but then if you only want it for WoW then anything will do pretty much.

580gb harddrive dont exist?
unless he mean 80gb + 500gb harddrive
AMD may have overheating issues if it use a fan not upto the job
apart from that will work for gaming, just also check the graphic card fan, they dont last more then a year, if it have one ( and if it is not spinning, change it or risk the card go pop)

Never had a gfx card fan fail on me, they're no more likely to break than anything else.
AMD chips are also no more likely to overheat than Intel ones, even a bog-standard OEM HSF will do the job unless you start o/c'ing things.
Re: PC gaming advice
mailed the guy asking what graphix card is it. its got 2 fans but if they do need upgrading what sort should i go/look for?
Re: PC gaming advice
They won't, you'll be fine on that count. You might need to upgrade the whole card if it's a bit rubbish though.
Re: PC gaming advice
says its a nvidia 512 graffix card
Re: PC gaming advice
That means nothing, you'll need the actual model number of the card i.e. 6800, 9600 etc

Based on the rest of the 'detailed' specs the seller provided, i can't see it being a great card.
