Whatever you can find for under $100 - 4650 and 4670 are decent bets.

If you dont have sufficient power to run a 4850 (400w recommended) I would opt for a 4670 1GB.

Click on the yellow text its linked to a newegg page for the card. Every card mentioned will be enough to play the listed games the 4850 will perform better in more advance games.

I just got a 4650 for $55 from Newegg that I'm really happy with. (I was going to go for the 4670, but I had to work with an anorexic Dell Inspiron 530S case that only allows for low-profile, which onlythe Sapphire 4650 is.) Anyway, it's a sweet little card that should play Wow just fine. I'm psyched at the performance I'm getting from it: It plays COD4, COD5, and, I'm told by various folks posting reviews of the card on Newegg, the vast majority of Steam games at almost maxed out graphics at 1280x1024. No problem with games based on the Unreal 3 engine on high settings. I haven't not been able to play anything yet (that is, I download a lot of demos, and it's worked for all of them so far). And it runs fine off my Dell's wimpy 250W PSU, and it's super quiet. I haven't bothered overclocking it because I don't want to push the PSU, and I haven't needed to.

FWIW.

Rest of my system:

Dell Inspiron 530S

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

3 GB
