Yes

Wow is not a very hardware intensive game. You can get rather decent performance out of modest hardware. So what you have selected will do the job just fine.

However the one advantage I have seen with friends that play WoW, a fast hard drive makes up for a lot of lag when loading big maps with a lot of characters...And of course it always helps to have good internet

Oh

And id probably reccomend buying the Athlon 3500 instead of the Sempron.

Its only $1 more and it will be a lot more productive then the sempron. The Athlon has 4x the L2 cache then the sempron and will likley help with load times.
