This is the setup I have now and I have a few questions. I think Civ5 and WoW are both pretty CPU intensive, would it be worth $100 to get a 4770K instead? How well would this rig run a 1440p monitor? I'd be willing to spend up to $2000 to run 1440p well, or if it would give me good performance gains at 1080p. Looking for suggestions on mouse/KB and also wondering if the case is any good, picked it for appearance
