Help a computer noob

TL;DR

I need a new computer (desktop) that is the cheapest at running WoW at…60 FPS or around there.

Just something inexpensive that can handle the stress of the graphics using Direct X 12.

I know absolutely nothing about computers or specs–just want to get something since my lil’ laptop all of a sudden can’t handle it.

Last night was great! Running stuff at 50-60 fps…I log in today, and Stormwind is like 20-30 fps.

No idea what changed–but I am super sad over it.

Suggestions?

If you can, please direct me to pre-built rigs. Something that would last a couple years, at least.

Thanks for your help.

Graphic quality–good is okay. Somewhere in the middle. Doesn’t have to be the best at all.

would still need a budget you’re aiming for.

Otherwise quick glance at BB and newegg you’re looking at roughly 800 ball park for something with a Rtx 3050. This is assuming no sales/specials/other discounts.

This one is pretty good.
