I'm looking to get a computer to pretty much just play wow on. The one I use now lags bad in dalaran and in raids. So if I used this to solely play Wow with, do you think it would be just fine? Thanks for the help.
AMD Athlon™ II X2 240 (2.8GHz, 2MB)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 4 DIMMs
640GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB

It depends on what your talking about with lag... Yes, it will play fine, no, you still will have lag. Almost every computer has lag. Anyways, the video card is on the low end. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5750, and i still get some lag.
In other words, Its an ok system, will perform likely at ultra settings. But you will have to reduce the graphics to compensate for the lag you may receive.

yeah lag i mean low fps. In raids, Dalaran and Wintergrasp i get like 10 FPS and below. I just want to be able to play without it skipping and jumping around. I dont really need to play on Ultra settings. Graphics arent really a big deal to me. Thanks for the reply.

Overclock the CPU and get a faster video card and you should be fine.

Not so much a good idea. If you know little to nothing about overclocking, you could destroy your processor and motherboard. It could overheat also if you do not have proper cooling. It reduces on the lifespan of the motherboard and processor, and you need a decent power-supply to provide any extra power it may require. It can also lead to instability of software.
While it is nice, its one of those things that you must know quite a bit about. Keep in mind too, that if the manufacturer finds out you overclocked anything beyond recommended specifications, it will immediately void your warranty. and Yes, they do figure it out when you return them.
As for the video card, it might be a good idea to upgrade that if you can afford it.
Edit: Yes you will get alot more than 10fps in Dalaran with this system as is.

How much are you willing to spend for a WoW computer? It's always better to build than it is to buy.
