Hidden away in a secluded sanctuary, the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing has waited, recovering from the wounds of his last battle against Azeroth and biding his time until he can reforge the world in molten fire.
Soon, Deathwing the Destroyer will return to Azeroth, and his eruption from Deepholm will sunder the world, leaving a festering wound across the continents. As the Horde and Alliance race to the epicenter of the cataclysm, the kingdoms of Azeroth will witness seismic shifts in power, the kindling of a war of the elements, and the emergence of unlikely heroes who will rise up to protect their scarred and broken world from utter devastation.

i personally dont have a machine that good but my best friend in real life does, well almost, hes got a FX-6300 + HD 7770 Ghz Ed. On his machine on Ultra he rarely drops below 55 fps unless hes in a 25 man raid with heavy aoe action going on or if hes in a major city like Org or SW with 50+ ppl

.... so you should have little trouble aside from heavy aoe 25 mans which can even make some of the best computers ache a little bit. Oh and his res is 1920x1080 i personally get 50-60 fps on medium settings with shadows turned off and view distance turned to max @ 1600x900
