Default Computer Guys: Opinion on this setup?

Prices in CDN, but it comes out to around $1350 US:

Shuttle SB83G5 $399
Athlon 64+ 3000 $189
512 RAM $220
Maxtor 250GB S-ATA w/ 16MB cache OEM $230
Sapphire Radeon™ 9600 Pro Advantage 256MB more info $149
LG GSA-4160B 16x DVD+/-RW, Dual Layer OEM $84.98
Wireless Keyboard + Mouse w/recharger $50
Samsung 17" 710V/713V LCD $305 (going for dual mon)
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS $107

A few questions:
-Do I really need a video card? Is the integrated one good enough for now? I just want to play world of warcraft.

-My friend recommends AMD, is it really better than Intel?

-Do I have enough slots for wireless LAN? Video card = 1 AGP slot, sound card = 1 PCI slot. Does that mean I have to get a USB wireless lan card?

thanks!!!
