I want to build a computer for my some so he will get off mine:) I got a couple of parts for free from work and just need a CPU and GPU. I dont want to spend over $500 for the 2. He plays WoW, Diablo 3, and Titanfall. I would like it to be able to handle medium to high settings. Ill be buying these parts from newegg, and i live in TN so i have to consider tax in the price. The CPU will use stock cooler so no overclocking(no need for a k-series)
