WoW likes SSD and Faster RAM. It doesn't require too much power from a GPU-so here is a build for you. :)
Also WoW won't benefit much from multiple cores (>4)-so no sense of an AMD rig with a 8320-(Someone's bound to post it if not mentioned :lol: )

Do note- if you are only going to play wow, you don't need much space on the HDD-so you can wait on getting the HDD :) (OS ~40GB +~30GB WoW, 120gb is plenty for now :D )
SSD really makes a difference in games like WoW and Skyrim.

I would go with a cheaper ssd and i don't know if there is a need for 2tb of storage. The intel stock coolers are quite good if you are not overclocking, and you can save some money. You can get closer to the 750 mark and have a haswell i5.

If you want to overclock get an asrock-motherboard-z87pro4 and buy a hyper 212 evo.
