Computer for WoW ONLY atm

These are the parts I have picked out so far. I am looking to placing the order in the next couple hours just want some reassurance. I just want something capable of dual-boxing wow with no hiccups preferrably on highest settings with some fps games on the side

ATM, I am unsure of the power supply mostly. I normally would just choose a case with a power supply which worked for the computer I am using.. but nobody recommends that

you could get by with less PSU

looks good... you can get by with less of a psu, or you might want to consider a modular to keep the mess down

I would suggest you are in the minority

I'm using about 400GB atm, and this is a recent build.

To the OP,
The Corsair 750TX is a great PSU that will take you through several future builds unless your budget changes dramatically.

However, if you want to save a bit more, I would recommend you get one of the combo deals with your Antec 900 case. If memory serves there is an EA650 that will work wonders, or the Neo 650W. Both are quality PSUs. Not quite as good as the Corsair but good.

If you save $30.00 on the PSU you could upgrade to a 4850, or perhaps even an E8400. You don't need either to play WOW well though.

Would I see a better performance increase by upgrading to a radeon 4850 GPU or the E8400 processor?

Here is what I'd consider to get a better system for basically the same $:
CPU - $120 e7200
Mobo - $120 - $15 MIR = $105!!! One of the better p45 based mobo's for the $!
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

GPU - $168 - $20 MIR = $148!! Much faster than the 9800gt you selected.
SAPPHIRE 100245L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

RAM - $63 - $20 MIR = $43!!! Your RAM that you selected is a good selection!
mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

HD - $75 shipped!! One of the faster HD's out right now!
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Case/PSU combo - $115 shipped!!! Has 650w Antec NeoPower PSU w/52A on the 12v rails (which is PLENTY!!). Comes with 1 x 6 pin PCI-e power connector and 1 x 6+2pin (8 pin) PCI-e power connector for your GPU's!
3rd combo from the top of the page.

DVD Burner - $27 shipped!! RETAIL version, so you get the necessary software to read/burn DVD's!!
LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner - Retail

Total before 64 bit OS purchase = $688 - $55 MIR's = $633!!! Now your original budget was over $700 before shipping and rebates, so this is a better buy and will also save you about $50 or so after MIR's!!

I've used a 8800GT clocked to 700Mhz, (same as the 9800GT you picked, but at a higher overclock 700 vs. 600) in WoW, runs at 60fps in most places except the graphically intense areas of large raids, Shattrath and large PvP where it drops to 40 or so. In Beta with the shadow effects it took a bit of a hit and dropped a bit more. The HD4850 would be a better choice then the 9800GT, but the 9800GT would still work well usually. The stock clocked E8400 at 3.0 would outperform the stock clocked E7200 at 2.5, it's more a matter of budget and upgrade paths then anything else. With a HD4850 and a 650w power supply you can always crossfire if it's needed at high resolutions or if you start playing a new game like Age of Conan or a game not yet released. If you can afford the $50 or so for the upgraded CPU and GPUs, then they're a reasonable cost. If it's too steep then the E7200 and GT9800 are still good choices.

Yeah but that mobo is an open box and I don't suggest getting open boxed mobo's unless the OP doesn't mind taking a change on it.

I have been told onboard sound has come a long way and a soundcard is not necessary anymore, is this true? If not, would the onboard sound suffice long enough for me to give it a fair trial before buying a sound card later on? Money isn't such a concern but if I don't need to buy one I won't.

Also, I am split between the case. The antec 300 with neo power supply is about 75-90 dollars cheaper (cant be bothered to check if they also have mail in rebates, LOL) than the antec 900 with neo power supply.. obviously the 900 looks better but is there a clear reason I should get the 900 over the 300?

One last thing, is it usually worth it to try and get any of these parts on green friday? I've never bothered to check what kind of sales office max runs.
