I agonized over every choice and did research on every part, but I'm far from knowledgeable about building a computer. I'm told this site has the best community for knowing what's what.

I'll be using my HDTV as the monitor, and I mostly play WoW but would like to get into more demanding PC games that my laptop just won't do.

Here's the link:

Thanks :)

Good parts and an mmo gaming mouse. You should switch the GTX 650 with the R7 250. It's $11 cheaper and comes with 1 gb more ram.

I would check these radiobuttons:

Sound Absorbing Foam on Side, Top And Bottom panels [+29]
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler w/ PWM fan - Efficient Cooling Performance (Extreme OC Certified)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card + EVGA Superclocked ACX Cooling [+19]

You wouldn't get into more demanding PC games with a GTX 650, you know...

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Game Coupon [+0] - you get this for free with the GTX 760

The sound absorbing foam and the Hyper cooler are not absolutely necessary, but they would make the machine quieter.

The video card upgrade on the other hand is essential if you want to play things like Battlefield or Assassin's creed at 1080p.

Imagine for example Battlefield 4, highest settings, 1080p. The GTX 650 would get you 20 to 25 fps (barely playable), and the GTX 760 would get you 40+ fps (enjoyable, IMO). With the GTX 650 you'd have to give up some of the eye candy to increase the fps.

Thanks for your answers. Nice to see I got some of it right.
Hmm, so I'm looking at about $1,300 then.
