Hey guys I would like your veteran opinion on this one. This will be my 2nd purchase with Pc Specialist, and i'm looking to get a gaming laptop
that's decent enough to handle World of Warcraft: Legion on 60 fps. I'm only interested in playing this game on it I doubt i'll ever play anything more demanding.

Looking to buy:

Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12

Are you bothered about Anti Aliasing? If not a 960M is probably fine, but that's kind of speculation as Legion's still in alpha. I probably wouldn't go any lower than a 960M.

You may be better off waiting until release if it's a £700+ pc for a specific game. As you've probably heard they're upping the max view distance so if you push the new ultra on that it may add quite a bit of load to the GPU and VRAM.

Also, the V300 series SSDs are said to be much slower than they should be. You may find a Samsung 850 Evo better.
The super thermal paste probably won't net you much benefit so if you're looking to save pennies you can probably dispense with that.
