Just looking for some feedback on this gaming PC. Mostly play Smite and WOW.

I know some will say build your own but unfortunately thats not really an option so just some feedback on any component changes would be greatly appreciated.

I see you're getting your rig from Cyberpower. I see a healthy configuration, expensive for what it is but as long as you're aware of that then that's up to you.

As the only comment, get rid of the overclocking. If you want to have your CPU overclocked, do it yourself, this company has had many issues with costumers getting overvolted CPU's getting really hot.

Oh, and get their expensive packaging option if you don't want to get the CPU cooler rip the motherboard.

I am not sure about Smite, but that CPU is overkill for WoW. You don't need more than a 4670k for WoW as it doesn't really scale well past 2 cores anyway. Go to a Z87 configuration, and go with a 4670k and a Z87 extreme4. Now if you intend to keep this system for a long time, then it isn't a horrible idea to go overkill like that. There is nothing that system couldn't handle.

It is for the future yes, wow is dying there will be better MMOs like possibly wildstar, and i don't want to have to upgrade anything for a while so yes i did aim to overkill it a bit. I will look at the overclocking, thanks for the quick response guys. Much appreciated.
