No it is way below the minimum for the game. What is your budget? I doubt the computer would even run the game well enough to play
I was looking to get something for under $300 if possible.
It will play WoW just turn graphics to 1
Will not be great but you can play
It would not even load the game regardless of what you set the graphics to. The HP Elite 7900 Desktop has a direct x 9 GPU which is not supported. most of that model I have seen is a small form factor which means getting a GPU that would fit in it would be difficult
No, it won’t. Nothing about that system is supported by WOW. The listed system has been horribly outdated for years. If it were given to you for free it would still be overpriced. Anybody selling that purchased it from a bulk liquidation sale and anybody purchasing it is being scammed.
Two possibilities for that price range. One get a Intel basic machine and use the Integrated GPU until you can save up for a dedicated GPU. Two buy a ryzen G series computer which has a integrated GPU and again save up for a dedicated GPU.
This is a little over the 300 but it will run wow and can be upgraded with a dedicated GPU later to make a rig that will last you for a while

you can probably catch walmart or something similar and get a decent rig around your price range and just upgrade with a video card. i have something similar i use as a backup and has no problem.
Have to be careful at walmart. They sell a lot of refurbished very out of date computers. Along with Hp and Accer computers that are not really upgradable
CostCo has some very good deals if you know someone with a membership

If you are on a tight budget and unsure your PC will work, looking at the return policy for where you are buying is very important as well, so don’t overlook this detail. Make sure you ask the store what the policy is, what restocking fees there are and the window for return. If you buy the PC and it just doesn’t work for you, return it and try again somewhere else.
