This gets you set up to overclock if you desire - 8GB of ram comes with the motherboard in this build

Wow.... thanks a lot man, this build looks way better haha. How is this build's performance in comparison to the one I put together? Also could it run WoW on ultra/high settings?

With overclocking, I would expect it to max out WOW easily. Except for the CPU choice, it's very similar to your build, the free ram comes with the motherboard you had chosen, I bumped up the wattage of the PSU (for possible X-Fire in the future, WOW currently does not support X-Fire configurations) for a few $$ more and pretty much left most everything else alone (or just looked for a little better value)
