Good Day Fellow TH'ers,

With the snow fall increasing this morning on the east coast, I figured i would ask the experts for build recommendations for a gaming pc. I am mainly looking to play WOW [new expansion as well] and DAYZ. I prefer an intel based system (I5 3350?)with a budget of 750. {Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse already have} Also, i dont plan on overclocking either but would like to have something somewhat future proof. Look forward to your feedback.
