what you think? potential? im not a hardcore gamer so wont need anything watercooled etc but just something that doesnt freeze every minute

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.

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?

[Ekona]

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.

says its a nvidia 512 graffix card

[Ekona]

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.
