I am looking for any and all information on where to start with building a Gaming Desktop.
My goal is not to have it powerful to run most mainstream games. Honestly my main focus is to have it powerful enough to run World of Warcraft.

The requirments are:

Processer
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8500 or AMD Phenom™ II X3 720
Intel® Core™ i5-3330,
AMD™ FX-6300, or better

Video:
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 440
AMD™ Radeon™ HD 5670
Intel® HD Graphics 5000 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750 Ti
AMD™ Radeon™ R7 260X or better

Now basically I just need to know in terms in terms of Power, Case, Motherboard etc, where do I start.

All replies will be welcome and I look forward for any advice.

For budget build, either Pentium G4560 or Ryzen 3 suits you best. 1050 ti is good enough for your purpose. Get a reliable PSU.
I prefer Ryzen build for its OCing ability:
