Answer
You don't need a powerhouse PC to run World of Warcraft but if you're in the market for a new PC at an affordable price, try ecollegepc.com. They build PCs with an impressive setup starting at around $500. These systems have no operating system but leave the option if you so choose. If you don't already have a monitor that leaves you with plenty of spending money. If you must save where you can, I recommend the Core 2 Duo but if it's free game, go for the Quad Cores. This will prepare you for the inevitable future when games will require it.
If you plan on using Windows for gaming, stick with a 32 bit operating system. While some games utilize the 64-bit architecture, others may not support it or even run on it. This also limits your usable ram to around 3 GB so bare that in mind when selecting memory. DDR3 ram should be more than enough and is easily upgradable.

As for Vista and WoW, the most common problems with frame-rate is caused by Creative Labs cards. This is due to the fact that Vista lacks the Vendor Extension required in some games such as World of Warcraft. This is solved simply by heading to the Creative Labs website and downloading a program called ALchemy. It's a Direct Sound interpreter for Creative Labs sound cards used in Vista. This should solve the problem IF you have a Creative Labs sound card. This solved my own frame-rate issues in WoW.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I would like to build a HIGH end gaming computer. I would like to know what parts to buy.
What CPU? What Motherboard? What Video Card? and the other computer parts. Budget 2500 dollars.Thank you.

Answer
$2500 will get you a really powerful machine. Here is what I recommend:
CPU-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070&cm_re=2600k-_-19-115-070-_-Product
Mobo-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128480&cm_re=p67-_-13-128-480-_-Product
GPU-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130655&cm_re=gtx_580-_-14-130-655-_-Product
RAM-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445

Your subtotal for this build is $2405. This will crush any game out there on a single monitor. You'll be set for a while with this rig. However, if you want more power, you can easily get it. The mobo and PSU can support 3 GTX 580s in tri-SLi. I could have gone with more GPU power, but I went with an SSD and watercooling instead. An SSD is vital for a rig of this caliber. An SSD is what makes a system feel fast. Watercooling not only looks awesome but it is silent and achieves much better cooling than any aircooler ever could. The rest is fairly self explanatory.
