I’m interested to see what machine all of you will be playing Classic on.
I just got a really good deal on a “refurbished” (it’s brand new) system with an i5-8400 and I’m excited to see how much juice I can get out of this thing playing on the presumably graphically upgraded Classic Client just using the integrated UHD 630 graphics before inevitably getting a GPU at some point.
Seeing as how Classic will be my poison for the foreseeable future, I might not even need to invest in a GPU at all!
How can it be both refurbished and brand new at the same time?
one of life’s great mysteries which I shan’t attempt to solve, but simply appreciate
You know those contradict each other right? Did you mean open box? Or did you mean a refurbished pc in really good condition?
bought a new case with intel core i7 9700k, all corsair everything with their icue software to sync all the fans, ram, and AIO cooler. its really an amazing case. Google corsair Icue rig setups.
Alright, you’re persistent, so I’ll say that everything looks to be brand new aside from I have to assume the mobo, CPU, RAM, and the Optane memory that this thing has. I’m still not convinced some of that stuff isn’t new as well though. If it is used, it’s the lightest “used” product I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m a lifelong peruser of all things donated, neglected, renewed, and recycled. Long story short, I’m happy about getting this rig cheap. If it really is used, it must have been sitting on some elderly college professor’s desk for the past couple semesters and he might have used it once or twice to check emails
Was just referencing the fact that refurbished is a product bought and used a bit (like a month at most) then returned back to the store because of a faulty part of said product and the store sends it back to the factory or what-ever they got, fix the fault, then put it back for sell fora cheaper price.
Well that’s interesting, didn’t know that was the strict definition of it. I’ll go ahead and hope it was the HDD which was faulty then, since the only thing I’ve ever had fail on a computer including self-built rigs was the HDD. The newer, the better.
16MB Intel Core i9-9900K 5.0GHz
8GB GDDR6 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
32GB DDR4 RAM
500GB SSD + 1TB HDD
Pretty overkill, but I use this computer for more than Just WoW.
safe to say you’ll maintain 60 frames
I was almost impressed
I got a 500GB SSD
I keep a very clean PC, especially when it comes to gaming rigs. Never needed more than a TB.

I was referring to the HDD part.
Still got a 500GB SSD, the HDD is far cheaper and for holding any games and files that I don’t need blazing speed on. shrug
storage is for hoarders. even 1 TB is overkill in the era of 10 minute full game downloads

Uh, I will initially be playing Classic on a Laptop, because I will be in Europe for 6 months starting mid August. I tested it for BFA and got about 30 frames constant in low settings, but thanks to Kaivax’s post I am optimistic Classic will run very well.
It’s a HP 15-DB0019AU - main specs;
- AMD A6 2.6ghz
- 8GB DDR4 Ram
- AMD Radeon R5 512 MB Dedicated Graphics
When I return home I’ll be on my usual Rig; an i5 4690 3.5ghz, 16GB RAM running an nVidia GTX 1060 6GB. That thing runs BFA flawlessly at max settings so Classic won’t even make it raise a digital eyebrow.
Pretty understatement. 
( Nice rig - you do CAD or Video Editing on it? )
Right now? Just video games. But I’ll be coding on it for school come Fall.
i9-9900K Processor (8x 3.60GHz/16MB L3 Cache)
32 GB (16 GB x2) DDR4-3200
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 - 8GB GDDR6 - ASUS ROG STRIX
960 GB ADATA SU650 SSD
4 TB Seagate Barracuda PRO HHD
Way overkill for WoW, but my gf loves it for Minecraft/the Sims 4.
