This is my first Intel build.
Just wondering if there's anything I should add, or change. My budget is $600 and the games I'll mostly be playing are mmorpgs (wow, gw2, etc.) I'll be installing windows 8.1

Made some changes. Cost is a bit higher, but still within budget. This way you have an upgrade path to Broadwell next year. Also a better GPU.
