Hello this is my first post. I have been looking for an answer on the forums and didn't find anything. I am building my first pc and this is the list http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bizzyb424/saved/ZPRgXL. I already have the tower, disc drive, ssd, and PSU. My question is will I have a problem with the GPU combined with the CPU? I only play WoW, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. I want to play with the settings mixed between high, ultra and some medium. If the GPU is too powerful should I go with a gtx 660? I do not want any amd products as wow favors intel/geforce. I will be playing on an acer P216hl monitor. Thanks in advance for any help.

The Graphic card you are using is overkill for the settings and games you want to play.
GTX 660 would be a better choice if you wanted to save some money but I think a GTX750ti would be more fitting for your needs.
You can check some benchmarks for those games with that card.

Heres what I found:

Thats what I though. I will get the 660 since the 660ti is sold out everywhere unless I get it used which I will not thank you

1. I would drop the SSD if I were you and go for an I5 4460.

2. Also the PSU you chose is bad.
Tiered PSU list, stick to tier1, tier 2a and tier 2b.

3. The GTX760 is a good GPU at a decent price and is't really overkill for 1080p gaming, I would say its worth it if you can fit it in your budget. If you want something between the GTX750ti / GTX660 and GTX760, then an AMD R9 270 or R9 270x will be even better value for money.

Novuake is right about the PSU, but since you have bought a PSU already the least you can do is change to a better one after a while if you cant return it.
