gaming pc build may 2014

Solution


I would go with the build I posted. With an 8320 and R9 270, you can't go wrong for the price.

If you're playing WoW heavily (as LoL and CSGO aren't really demanding on the PC), I would suggest going with an Intel. WoW is old as crap, and is the engine. Performance difference is HUGE in WoW, highly in favor of Intel.

What power supply and case? (please don't be a psu/case combo...)

You could save $5-7 with the g skill Ares ram but it looks pretty good. The r9 270 won't play BF4 at ultra but you would get high, Wow and LOL will be easily maxed.

You must be a wizard or something to make that 8320 fit in for $0.91 more
