I've decided to buy a new computer, now, the budget is not high,it's around 1000 $, maybe a bit more.

I live in sweden so 7000 - 8000 SEK would be really good :)

Now I'm not good at all at building a computer. And I'm hoping you guys are, I've gone to a lot of sites but I haven't found one that actually gave me a straight answer, so this is my last chance before I just settle with

This computer. I think it's pretty good.

What I do with my computer is mostly gaming, and what I play is World of Warcraft, now, I don't know if it's too much to ask for that low of a budget, but I'd really like a computer that could handle 100 stable fps in that game in majors citys, now, if that's a far fetched dream that will just not happen, I understand.

That will run warcraft very nicely - looks like a nice system to me!

maybe so, but would it handle other games, newer games? and could I get more power for my buck if I go a different way?

You would definitely get more power for the buck if you built a machine yourself - but as you said that wasn't an option.

What other games are you planning on running?

I recommend you building your own PC if it is intended for gaming, because it is cheaper, and better nearly every time.

that's the thing, I don't know what games I'm planning on running, but I'd like to try out some of the new stuff that's coming onto the market today, is that possible? and I never said I couldn't build my own pc, I just said I Wasn't good at it. If someone could maybe point out things I should/could buy, then I'd definitely consider that.

But somehow I just don't expect anyone taking the time to help me :\

This is exactly the setup I would recommend if you were building it yourself.

It will run everything at maximum settings.

That is also the setup I would recommend to you, but in a different case and maybe a couple of smaller things here and there.

For example I would change the DVD drive to a DVD RAM drive (quite possibly with lightscribe).
