I built a computer back in 2006. At the time, it ran Vanilla WoW like a dream. Flash forward to 2010, after that computer had sat idle for a good 2+ years, and it ran WotLK like complete and utter garbage. My laptop did a much better job of handling it. One more jump into the present day, and I am wanting to give Cata a go, and bring my old desktop back from the grave. Thing is, I have never been super tech savvy and I dunno if there is anything I can do to this thing so it can run WoW (really) well, or if it's time to rebuild. I want it to run really smooth at decent settings (not ultra, though it would be nice).
tl; dr: will this old '06 rig be capable of running the current WoW build, and do it very well with basic upgrades? Including a new possible build as well.

cpu: I can't boot up the PC at the moment because I don't have the monitor for it, but I obviously must have purchased the CPU from some place other than newegg because it isn't in my purchase history. It is an AMD Athlon 64 from June of 2006.
Anything I can do or do I need to rebuild? I am not looking for some cutting edge PC, just one that plays WoW well. I was hoping to use the case, monitor, psu, keyboard and mouse from before and it would be awesome if I could keep my budget small.
These are the parts I was looking at for a rebuild, though dropping 350 bucks right now might be more than I wanna do:

Thanks for any help ; ; it's been a long time since I've built and I kinda rushed through the new parts, hope I didn't make any glaringly stupid choices.
