new system suggestions

Hi

I am putting together a machine to play WoW and I want to get the most
performance for the bucks (who doesn't?)

Questions; Do any of the integrated graphics work at all? Like this S3
UniChrome Pro integrated graphics
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=656

I'd like a P4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM and a top-end video card but I don't have
the budget for all of it. Where should I compromise first? CPU? RAM? Video
card? Should I get a cheap CPU like a Celeron, go for 512 or 768 RAM and
spend the extra money on a better video card? Which one is the best?

thanks

Lee
