I'm buying a PC from ibuypower (I know it's cheaper to build it on my own but I don't wanna mess something up), is there anything I should downgrade/upgrade?

I don't know if I need all this stuff for the games I'm planning on playing (mostly Blizzard games - WoW, Diablo..), but I also kind of don't wanna limit my PC and not be able to play the games that have higher requirements.

Basically, I want the best performance/price ratio, but also everything running smoothly.

Current price: 1400$

If you know of a better rig from a diff. site for less money or so, please let me me know.



Also, which monitor would you recommend?

Monitor 3

Or is there a better 27" one for a similar price?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
