You must upgrade your PC.... 80gb HDD????? It must use IDE.... geeezzz this computer must be ancient...
If you want to be able to install all the games onto your HDD you might need to upgrade your HDD.
To view games in laggless performance, DEFINITELY need to upgrade video card.
Your processor... whoa boy.
I don't know what type of ram you're running but its probably very outdated along with your motherboard.
Did you build this PC, or buy it pre-made?
I would completly recommend you purchase a new PC. If you're able to give me a budget I would be able to hook you up with a decent build.

You hit the minimum spec for WoW but I try to go for twice min spec. The graphics will be so reduced that you won't get the enjoyment that you are paying for.

Meh that HD isn't a big deal, there is virtually no performance difference between SATA over IDE.. a HD simply can't fill the bandwidth available in UDMA/133 outside the read/write cache (not a big deal). But yes, definitely in need of a serious upgrade.. That system would barely handle original WoW, and it's actually quite a bit more demanding in BC and WotLK.. you're gonna hate playing on it.
You could put together a cheap ass system for like $240 that would easily handle WoW and you'd be much happier with the Windows performance too.. you need new cpu ($55), mobo ($60), ram ($25), video ($60 or use onboard until you can afford), power supply ($40), send in a few rebates to knock $45 off, reuse your case/hard drive/peripherals.. you can get a little cheaper than that but you lose value for money the further below or above mid-range you go and that setup would already be below mid-range.
anyone who says that can run wow.. clearly never had similar pc , to try wow on.. my old pc which by now is probably 6 years old.. , was around there.. less ram.. cpu about same.. graphic card 3-4 times stronger
it ran wow ofcs.. it did 2 years ago.. fps in tbc raiding instances was terrible.. and now with wotlk.. it certainly would strugle..
the whole minimum specs "game will launch "attitude is accepted when is said by some old fart, which is selling his game to guy which wont be able to play it
but when someone on gaming forum.. says that game will run.. giving poor guy hope.. which we all known is around 12-16 years old.. as he cant afford his own pc atm, he will take it for granted.. and for example will buy wow.. just to find it. that even on minimum specs.. game will run on 5-10 fps contant.. now if you say.. that terribly looking game on that fps. is called game.. you clearly have wicked mind.
I'm sure you can get a 512mb graphics card for 20-30 GBP.
Hard disk is fine, Wow is 4GB and presuming its 7200 rpm and defragmented then you wouldn't gain much by buying a new one. CPU is borderline, you'll be the last person in your party to load so make sure you buy a nice graphics card.
