I can get this setup for 550$ Mainly looking to play some wow and do some work in adobe cs6 (illustrator, indesign, photoshop etc..)

Let me know what you guys think
 
Solution
The GPU is 3 years old.

The PSU is STUPIDLY overkill. 500w is more than enough.

The motherboard is AM3 not AM3+ so most new CPUs will not fit.

For WOW, it will be fine for high settings and it should play other games at medium settings.
