Hey guys, sorry if i posted this in the wrong area, im just a little stuck on deciding what toget for my gaming build, i dont need high end stuff, i probably want to spend around $500 on it.
so far all i have is the hard drive

i think i might have set myself on a cpu
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670-Quad-Core-Processor-BX80646I54670/dp/B00CO8TBR4
but im not sure which motherboard would be good for this cpu, not sure which ram i should get aswell, i have set my mind on a 2x4GB set though not sure on the brand.
not sure on the graphics card aswell, i imagine i will want to spend around $200 on it and at LEAST has to have 2GB of vram. my dad is Sort of making me buy Intel/Nvidia only products so probably Geforce 700+ if you could convince him that AMD is just as great (which it can be Nvidia is sorta like alienware where your just paying for the name.)
as for a case i dont know which one to get until somone recomends me a motherboard.
i own a Great display (1680x1050) and keyboard already. though my mouse is getting a little worn out if anyone would know a good mouse aswell that would be great, i have the first model world of warcraft mouse, i enjoyed it but it has a little too many buttons and i would be worried to get one of the newer ones. pretty much the games i want is at least world of warcraft with view distance on high while the quality is set to medium, also counter strike/ COD4/WAW running on the highest settings. thanks guys sorry if i put this in the wrong area again.

honestly with that low of a budget you are going to have to go AMD or you will be bottlenecking your GPU hard.
