Hello all,

First post here:)! I am looking to build a new desktop for the upcoming MMO, Wildstar. I have spent the last several weeks reading up on the subject of building a machine and have created a list of suitable components. I am looking for some feedback before I order.

Here is what I was thinking:

I have spent some time working as a student assistant for an IT department. I am confident I can physically put the machine together. However, I would love some feedback on what I have picked out.

Thanks,
