Which CPU and GPU Combo is Best for World of Warcraft?
Asked by

I'm looking to upgrade my partner's PC since the old one has finally given out. He's a dedicated World of Warcraft player who participates in 25-man raids twice a week and is frustrated with performance issues. We're trying to choose between a few CPU and GPU combinations without exceeding our budget of £1500. Here are the options we're considering: 1) Intel i5 14400f with 5070 12GB, 2) Intel i5 14400f with 9060 XT 16GB (the cheapest option), 3) 7800X3D with 5070 12GB (most expensive), and 4) 7800X3D with 9060 XT 16GB. Just need some guidance on which setup might be the best for enhancing his gaming experience, especially since it's way past 3 AM and I'm still lost in benchmarks!

If you're also planning to run Discord and browse while gaming, the 7800X3D handles those multitasking demands much better. Trust me, it’ll provide a smooth gaming experience even with everything open.

The 7800X3D beats out most Intel chips for gaming performance. If you can stretch your budget even a little, this is the way to go.

I'd recommend going with the 7800X3D paired with the 9060 XT 16GB. It's hands down the best combo for gaming, especially in MMOs like WoW where the extra cache on the X3D really shines.

Definitely go with the 7800X3D! The additional L3 cache is a game changer for WoW and other demanding applications, plus I'd suggest not skimping on the GPU either—go for the 9060 XT instead of the 5070.
