Should do but remember wow is an MMORPG so it highly populated area's and raids, dont expect too much.





EDIT: I play wow and have 3 high end machines so whoever thumbed me down is a fool.





To the asker: Remember WOW is more of a CPU intense game over GPU power so try to focus on your CPU a little more.





WOW eats up the GPU on draw distance and Shadows, mainly shadows.Would this computer allow for WOW to be run at maxed graphics?
Um hell ******* yes?


Wow is a game made in 2004, and back then it was made to run smoothly on older computers, so you should be able to run it max graphiques with no lag with out any problems at all.
Well accoridng to your specs, your computer should be compatible with WoW's utmost performance but unfortunately, even the greatest of computers lags in Dalaran and you can't do anything about that other than change servers or avoid the populated areas!





As for raids, it should be just fine!
That system should run at max graphics. The video card and i3 processor should be a winner.
The game is going to lag like hell on your crappy PC.
