If it's mainly for WoW, then the 9800GTX+ would be over kill. The 9800GT will suffice and still play most games very well. Not to mention the GTX+ would throw you way over budget.

There is one teeny tiny part that you might be missing...

a monitor?

(Or do you have one already?) ;)

EDIT:
and keyboard, mouse, speakers... stuff like that. :)

Of course he does , why u think he can access the net? But incase he doesn't you can get a MX400 or 440 forgot the name, G15 and speakers are optional unless u get onboard speakers/

LOL I mean... for the new system. Some people like having multiples, like a monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers/etc. for each computer. ;) Though I might just be an oddball for wanting to have multiple computers up and running at the same time. :D
