Hey there folks, Not sure if this thread is in the right place or not but here goes. I'm building a PC which I'm hopefully going to use for Gaming, and only gaming. I have been on the website PC Specialists, and I've designed a PC on there. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the PC I've made will be good enough to run games like World of Warcraft or League of Legends on high or ultra graphics. Thank you! I'll post the specs below.

CPU: Intel Core i5 Quad Core Processor i5-4590 (3.3 GHz) 6MB Cache
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER: PCI-3.0, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0
RAM: 8 GB Kingston DUAL-DDR3 1600 MHz (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card: 1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 740 - DVI, HDMI VGA -3D Vision Ready
Hard Disk: 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1003FZEX, SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache (7200 rpm)

Thank you for your help, if you could just take a look at the stuff Ive put in it, Im rather new to this and my budget is around 700 pounds. As I also need to buy a monitor, keyboard, etc. :) Thanks again

Josh

Looks good for those games, not super demanding, couple of things though, I would consider a GTX 750ti instead. Much more bang for your buck there. And go for a 2x4GB RAM kit, gives you dual channel AKA memory works twice as fast.

Converted to pounds this barely overshoots your budget and included everything, keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS, PC, and a much more powerful graphics card than the one you have chosen.
