about the 9800 Series, would an XFX GeForce 9800 GT Video Card Suffice? and if so is an Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6GHz Processor an improvement on the one I originally mentioned? If so i could get a pretty good deal for them in a Bundle Pack.

I'm Definitely going for 8Gigs of RAM, from reading alot of the other Topics.

so that just leaves me with figuring out the motherboard, Hardrive and Power Supply. Any advice? if the previously stated motherboard is fine let me know, and thanks everyone whos already helped out, I know I ask alot of stupid questions, i just don't want some huge mistake because of my lack in experience.
a 9800 gt would be just fine-- i would tend to lean towards the quad core you originally mentioned, quad core will give you better multitask-ability, should give better performance for running more than 1 instance of wow. motherboard you originally listed should be good, shop around for a good power supply, i've had good experiences with Thermaltake's (i believe the min req power for the 9800gt is like 400w, i'd get bigger than that though). hard drive... people here have been talking about SSD's a lot lately, if you want to put the wow directory on there and symlink it you should get really good read speeds. I'm running a raid1 with regular 7200 500gb drive, 5 symlinked wow directories on it and it doesn't seem to get any slowdown (except in shatt, i think it's because my memory is being maxed out... putting some bigger sticks of ram in when i get home, so we'll see how it is then)
