I am finally in a position to replace my aged desktop. I've put together a draft of what I think might do the trick, I would love some feedback and/or suggestions for improvement.
I am a very, very casual gamer. I would like to play WoW, but do not need to play on Ultra. I just want to quest and jump in some dungeons periodically. It would be nice to have the horsepower to raid every now and then, but time doesn't really allow for much of that so I don't need a build for raiding. I played Diablo II long ago, and wouldn't mind giving Diablo III a whirl.
I also use utorrent quite a bit to download DMB shows and need a machine that can easily handle the .flac to .mp3 conversion. I would like to watch .mp4 files on my TV so HDMI out would be nice as well as the umph for clear, smooth playback.
Other than this, basic web browsing and youtube watching is about all this machine will do.
An upgrade path would be nice, the first thing I'd like to add is an SSD drive for quick loads.
So, here's my build, what do you think?
