Short answer - No

Long answer- NOPE. It needs a dedicated GPU so it can play games at high settings with modest FPS

What would be better? I only play like WoW

Put in just a few more bucks and there you have it, an i5 + a dedicated graphics card

That's too much money.. I've been looking for days.. I looked at Lenovo and heard that it sucks and go was the way to go for what I play. I can play WoW on ultra with my computer.

I was about to tell you it is not a good gaming laptop generally, but I saw where you said you only play Wow.
WoW doesn't demand a lot from a computer for it to be played, so your laptop there should be able to play it on medium to high settings.
Here are the recommended requirements for Wow:
*Windows® 7 / Windows® 8 / Windows® 8.1 64-bit with latest service pack
*Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz,AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 2.6GHz or better
*VIDIA GeForce 8800 GT,ATI™ Radeon HD 4830 (512 MB) or better
*4 GB RAM
*25 GB available hard drive space

Now, when you compare the specs of the HP Pavilion 15-e189nr Notebook you want to buy.
That laptop has :
*AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-5750M Accelerated Processor which is far better than the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 2.6GHz
*8GB DDR3L SDRAM which is doubled the 4 GB required
*AMD Radeon HD 8650G graphics which is better than the Radeon HD 4830 (512 MB)
*1TB 5400RPM HDD which is far more than the 25 GB Hard drive space required

That laptop is really a goo deal for $500. I think you should go for it.

Enjoy Wow.
