The main factor is, of course, the GPU. I have no experience with intergrated intel GPUs. Nothing I've read has been very concise on this matter. I don't need it to be fast and ridiculous, just run.
Answers:
WoW doesn't require hardcore hardware to run, so you will be fine. You might want to turn down the settings though, as the integrated GPU might bog down a bit on higher settings.
i think everything but the graphics passes.
integrated graphics(motherboard graphics) dont seem to handle games so well.
to be sure go to www.systemrequirementslab.com and you can download a small file and it will analyze your pc and tell you if you pass,by how much, and even suggest upgrade parts.
it should. I'm not sure about the graphics card though.
Good Luck!
Everything looks good, however I would upgrade your video to a seperate card if you have a free expansion slot. The thing with intergraded video is that it will utilize main system RAM, thus lowering your total RAM. I don't like them for anything more than surfing or doing office work.
WoW may play alright, but it will bog down during scene changes or large battles with many characters on screen while the video chip trys rendering everything. You don't want to be the weak link in your guild.
If you do upgrade, get one with at least 256MB of RAM and a fast GPU (graphics processor unit).
it look fine enough to play WOW.. but i think good graphic card is better
