Hello tech guys,
I know nothing about computer specifications. I am going to be making $4000.00 during the months of July and August and would like to spend $2000.00 or less of that on a new gaming computer set.

I would like to make sure this new computer setup will run World of Warcraft on Ultra settings (100%) with a very fluent FPS rate (I would like to see no drops in fps, and perhaps a constant 80-100 frames per second). Obviously I would like to have everything else work properly with it (for example cooling to make sure my computer doesn't overheat).
I currently have an Asus G53 gaming laptop. It's a good laptop but it doesn't run World of Warcraft nearly as well as I would prefer (I play with a lot of add-ons so that might decrease performance).

For this setup I would like you to create for me, I would like you to include everything that goes inside a computer case as well as a monitor to ensure that I can have the perfect WoW experience :)

Please include names, prices, and estimated performance results! Try to come close to $2000.00 because I'm not someone who goes super cheap on things that will be used often for a long period of time.

Thank you to whoever can fulfill my request!

USAFret has a very good point. This list is a good build for right now, and I would recommend something similar in 3 months, but pricing will be different then. Additionally, the new GPU's should be coming out soon.

Regardless, I put a build together that has everything you would need for a great gaming set up. It is slightly limited on storage space, but it is all SSD, so it is really fast. I also included a blu-ray drive because they are nice to have.
If you have any questions, please ask.

I think the two medium size SSDs would be fairly annoying in the build above. I would probably say go with one medium size SSD and one 1 TB storage drive.

Considering the new component generations basically just came out, I sincerely doubt they would outdated in 3 months.

Thank you very much sir. Just as I asked for. I also agree (now that I've thought about it) that technology gets frequently outdated. Thank you very much, and thank you other two guys for your important input as well!
