It's been a very long time since I've looked at building a computer. I'm a Mac person and have enjoyed those for the last few years. I'm a big WoW player and have been playing on my work laptop, a MacBook Pro for the last 7+ months. It's not an ideal experience as I essentially must keep every setting at the minimum just to play the game. Seeing as I'm not able to spend $2,000+ on an iMac, and that its video options aren't ideal either, I'm looking at building a gaming machine. I don't have a specific budget but keeping it to $1,000 would be nice. The only item I already own is a cinema display. I'll need to purchase everything else. The goal is to be able to run WoW at maximum settings and maximum resolution without a low frame rate.
I searched around a bit for this very topic and couldn't find anything specific to WoW. It has been around for 4+ years but has gotten slightly more intensive with the addition of Wrath. I figure one of the mid-range gaming builds would be sufficient but I'd appreciate some thoughts from those who know better than I do.
