My PC and Shadowlands requirements

Could someone with a techy brain check out my current PC build and tell me - on line with the recent release of Shadowlands requirements - how it would cope. I’m in a bit of a financial black hole right now and upgrading wouldn’t be easy for me.

Intel i5 7500 CPU
ASUS Z270 mainboard
8gig DDR4 ram
1tb SATA HDD
Armaggeddon 1000watt Modular PSU,
MS Windows 10 COA
Radeon RX 480 series graphics card

I’d say you would be fine at 1080p with some concessions. Your CPU lacks frequency, cores, and threads, and possibly your RAM is only single channel.

The 7500 is long in the tooth right now. More than the RX 480.

CPU week be holding you back especially given wow isn’t very well parallelised for multi core or thread. However you will be able to play it with some settings turned down.
