CPU ($280) - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz LGA 1150

Motherboard ($122) - MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Z97-G55 SLI

RAM ($80) - Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM

GPU ($155) - EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti

SSD ($130) - Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III

PSU ($90) - EVGA SuperNOVA 750W B2 80 Plus Bronze

Wifi ($40) - TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900

P.S. Will this be able to run World of Warcraft on ultra settings?

As a gaming build, this is rather unbalanced. An $1100 build that's for gaming shouldn't have a GPU that's more likely to be found in builds that cost half of that. You're putting a lot of budget into things that won't help your performance - $150 is a crazy amount of case for an $1100 gaming build and you haven't mentioned any particular usage in which the upgrade from an i5 to an i7 actually would matter in the real world. And if World of Warcraft is the toughest game you plan on running on the PC, then your budget is probably twice what it needs to be.

At $1100, this is type of build I'd be looking at.

If $1100 is a hard cap for the bluetooth and wifi, I'd back down to a non-K CPU and an H97 motherboard.
