I do agree that waiting on a 1070, might be a good idea. WoW is an Intel/Nvidia favoring title. In the event you do not want to wait.

Admirable
For £800 it is easy...
A fast Intel i5 - for example 4590, 6600
mid price Gigabyte or ASUS motherboard
GTX970
16Gb RAM
SSD
good quality PSU - see the Toms Hardware PSU tier list
Any case will do.

The build in my signature is fantastic value for money, but you can afford a better GPU than I have

STOP.

Wait for the GTX 1070 graphics cards to launch in a couple of weeks, then put your build into action. If the newly reviewed 1080 is anything to go by, the 1070 will be by far the best option at your price point (probably looking at gaming performance in between a 980 and 980 ti for a fraction of the cost).
 
Anyway here a good build for your money:
