Gaming computer reccomendation

ogmudbone44 · Sep 10, 2014

IS this set up a good one that will run World of Warcraft on the highest settings up to Ultra? So this is the PC I have set up. And I have about 250$ left in the budget. Should I change anything or get anything else? Thank you for your advice!http://pcpartpicker.com/user/AlexPetz/saved/wZLdnQ

The i5 2500k is 3 generations old. Change to an i5 4690k and Z97 mobo eg Asus Z97-A

Get 2 x 4gb 1866 1.5v cl9 ram for the same or better price

eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231550 $87

Get a better power supply eg Seasonic 620/650, XGFX 650 or Antec HCG 620M

Then get a better graphics card eg Gigabyte R9 290 $370 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125500

Is there Maybe I different Set up you could suggest? I Think the Gigabyte R9 290 Might be a little overkill?

Do you think that Changing the motherboard From the Asus Z97-A ATX to a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 would keep the exact same performance except, theres a 25$ Combo Discount for Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 being matched up with the CPU that you set me up with?

I'm going on Tom's recommendation - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z97-motherboard,3824.html - the Asus or an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4. They liked it better than the Gigabyte.
