So a while back I managed to con my girlfriend into trying World of Warcraft with me, and she got hooked. However, her current system is pretty old, and her FPS goes to hell, especially in raids. I'd like to get her a new system so she doesn't get discouraged from playing.

Keep in mind that this system only needs to be able to run WoW smoothly. She doesn't play any other games (on the PC anyway). Does anyone have suggestions for what range/type of stuff I should get so that her frame rate is decent in any WoW situation, while not spending too much? I already have my old 7800 GT for her, so that's already one big piece out of the way.

whats your budget? you could get away with an x2 or even a cheap c2d if you want it to last a while. 2GB of ddr2-800 (ive seen quality kits for go for less than $60), any case you want (thats decent), decent brand sata/ide 7200rpm drive, $30-35 dvd-rw and you're fine.
