It’s refurbished, I didn’t know if that would effect my gaming. I want to play games like World of Warcaft and stuff. Is this computer alright for it?

that would play it but with the Wraoth of the Lich King expansion WoW tends to like a dual core processor. I play too and am upgrading my entire system -monitor for under $500 including a smoking 9800GT !GB video card

Being refurbished shouldnt be an issue. The problem is that it doesnt give you any video specs and the processor is only single core. It should be able to run WoW since WoW doesnt take a lot to run. But not mentioning the video card specs makes it seem like they arent going to be very good. Not worth the price in my opinion.

That doesn’t even have a video card, does it?
I should say, however, that the Optiplex GX270 is my favourite workstation model ever made. It’s just not suited to be a gaming PC, though.
It’ll probably play the game fine, but for any high-end applications, it will fail.

I’m not sure. Sorry. :/
