Tax time is here, so I am finally building my wife's new computer. Convinced her to get away from laptops and go back to a tower system, so building this from the ground up. I already have a tenative build planned, but would love any last minute thoughts of anything that I should alter. If you have a suggestion, please tell me why.
She will use the computer primarily for Gaming (World of Warcraft is the heaviest load), social networking, and some very light graphic design.
The goal is to be able to run games at high graphics settings and still maintain a high framerate.
Our budget will be between $800 - $1400 (Trying to keep it lower without sacrificing performance)
I favor newegg as a retailer, but will buy elsewhere
The prospective build:
