$300-400 Budget Gaming

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This Month, Ideally the budget would be close to 300, but max is 400.

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, but to be honest. I want World of Warcraft to be running at a consistent 60fps. And I want the comp to have the same performance going into the next warcraft expansion

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: This comp does not need:

Speakers, DVD Drive/writer, Keyboard/Mouse, Harddrives, or Monitor. I can part those out.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com, tigerdirect.com

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA

PARTS PREFERENCES: Full tower case, but really, no preference really

OVERCLOCKING: If I can safely overlcock (novice at it, except for GPU overclocking), I will do it.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Nothing really, but hopefully it can be constrained with the budget.

Some stuff I have looked at however:

As for the motherboard and ram... I'm pretty unsure how to tackle that. With a 300-400 budget, i'm unsure how to tackle that issue as well o.O And As you can tell, i'm almost a complete novice with system building (assembling I can do, as well as the actual O/S stuff, just not too much on hardware selection)

Any help on trimming/replacing parts would be appreciated.
