Quazii has some helpful settings tips, but disclaimer most of his stuff is aimed at better performance in group content, and may sacrifice some visual fidelity outside of those areas.

Easy
Set it to where it looks good to you and dosent force your PC to struggle.
fixed.
Ty I’m look into this and see tbh I’m not really caring about what outside group content really looks like just want to see what I can do on this new pc
I followed this when I was doing M+ back in DF, and I did notice some positive changes.
One thing I did notice, however, and learned to adapt instead of changing back, is some darker areas are dark lol.
op do you have an ssd?
and the graphics card what Gs you have and how much ram the videos people posted might/might work out for you
i mean, this is really the answer. everyone is going to have their own happy balance between performance and quality. your machine sounds like it’s probably going to do fine at higher graphics settings, so i would max things out or close to it, then see if you’re happy with the performance.
every build is a bit different so nobody here can tell you just by looking exactly what settings will perform at a specific level, and even if they could, only you can decide if that looks good enough for you.
sorry, you’re not going to get a “turn this to X, turn that to Y” that will be perfect. you’re gonna have to play around 
You are probably going to have to do some trial and error to figure out what your machine can handle.
If you want, here are my very barebones settings which I use on a relatively weak M4 iMac:
CMAA2 for anti-aliasing.
| Graphic Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Shadow Quality | High |
| Liquid Detail | Fair |
| Particle Density | High |
| SSAO | Low |
| Depth Effects | Low |
| Compute Effects | Low |
| Outline Mode | High |
| Texture Resolution | High |
| Spell Density | Essential |
| Projected Textures | Enabled |
| View Distance | 10 |
| Environment Detail | 7 |
| Ground Clutter | 4 |
This is what I feel is the best bang for buck for my machine.
Your PC looks stronger than mine so maybe you can use the above as a base and increase the various settings bit by bit until performance becomes unacceptable.
P.S. You can probably up the Liquid Detail to Good. Your discrete gaming GPU should have enough number crunching power and memory bandwidth to handle it.
When I get home I can definitely post it more just due I cannot remember on top of my head I know I have not gone into my bios yet and done the bios
wow isnt that demanding any old thing thats about 5+ some odd years should be good.
Forsure I am honestly used to certain stuff down and do plan on turning those up just a little
With that rig you can literally Max everything and not even worry. Only thing I would do is turn off Ray Tracing. In wow it’s been known to cause issues. It’s also kind of useless in wow
