Yes, all of the parts that I recommended are compatible with each other and what you are wanting to do. As far as the "monitor" goes, if you like the TV and it works, I see no reason to upgrade it. Unless it's not 1080p, then I might shop around for one. Black Friday is coming up soon. The GPU will take care of Warlords of Draenor on Ultra no problem. It also has an HDMI plug on it that will send both video and audio to your TV if that is how you want to take care of the sound. And I understand the uncertainty that's present. It was there for all of us at one point.

Also, you are very welcome.

Your best bet would be building one yourself, and here is just a quick configuration that I threw together on PCPartPicker that would be great for playing the next WoW expansion, or any games in general: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/m4CCgs

Like I said, this is just a rough throw-together. Everything here will have you gaming in no-time and there are plenty of ways that this system can be upgraded. You should also be able to add a monitor and peripherals to this as well if you were needing those to go along with it.

This all looks very good to me, I don't mean to question your knowledge but are you confident this can run WOD on ultra. I'm just a bit intimidated by the whole process and would you suggest getting a new monitor, I use a 25in TV screen that has a PC mode in HDMI. All these parts are compatible?
Sorry again I just need to be certain
Sincerely, Scared PC gamer.
