What's your opinion about this spec? Can it be improved for around the same price in any way?
I have two GPU's at home, a GTX 450 which is out of the PC this is replacing, and also my main PC's old GTX 570. (Not sure the GTX 570 is functional anymore though, got a burning smell from the PC when I put it in my gf's old PC that probably couldn't handle it. Not 100% the burning smell came from the GPU though.)
I've never really tried AMD products because from other peoples opinions they're rubbish in comparison to intel. So I've never been brave enough to dabble in that, maybe someone could tell me different, I will be mostly be playing WoW on the PC, but other games would be lovely to access as well, this is basically the "backup" PC that my gf and I use when we play WoW together, the main PC is generally more powerful (although 4 years old now, improved with a new GTX 970.)
