Hello,
My goal is to play WoW on high settings with high fps. I already have a Thermal Take 600w TR2 PSU and an MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr 2gb GPU, but am wondering what components will work around these to build the best gaming PC I can for cheap with the performance I want.
If experts can take a look at this and make suggestions to make it cheaper or perform better or not have dreaded "cable management problms" I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! I don't know much about building a PC but am trying this for the first time since so many people say buying a pre-built one is a rip-off.

CPU: AMD Fx-6300 3.5GHz 6-core processor $110
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ $70
Memory: Kingston Black Series 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3-1333 memory $78
Case: NZXT Source 210 Black ATX Mid Tower Case $37
Case Fan: Cooler Master R4-l25-1228-g 3.8 CM 120mm Fans $9
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1st /blk/b/as DVD/C writer $17

Get 1866Mhz Cas9 memory instead from Corsair or Gskill. The pricing is about the same than the set you listed.

Probably a good idea to get an after marker cooler for the CPU too, Xigmatek Gaia or Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
The basic stuff coming with the CPU is pretty bad.

I assume you already have a hard drive as well, since one is not listed.
