Computer Advice?

Unread post by Bulletdance »

In January I got a new pc which was a really huge deal for me being on disability, but I am careful with my money and really wanted something I could use to do designs and play WoW when my hands worked so I got the best I thought I could. I went to bestybuy and told them what I was after since I know a little, but not enough really and they pointed me towards an Asus. My mistake there should've done my homework better, but it worked great for about...five months. I took it to besbuy to repair it and it started acting up shortly after that so I sent it back to Asus for repairs. They had it for a month and it broke again the day I got it back. They said it was the NVIDIA card and replaced it...annnd then said that again three more times. They said they'd send me a refurbished one to replace it if they can't fix it again, but I have given up on them so I'm going to start saving for a new machine and was wondering if anyone on here knows which are really good for WoW or has any pointers on what to look for? :(

My husband is a tech, he said something like this

or (3 year warranty)

Disclaimer (I am not a tech, I'm just passing his recommendation on)
