Alright, I'm looking to build a system that will be used to play mainly WoW and probably not much more. I do have some requirements though.

currently, I already have these componenets...

XFX PVT96GYGF3 GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3

BFG Tech GS-550 550W ATX12V V2.2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010

Windows 7 x64

and I will be using my 52" LCD TV as a monitor @ a resolution of 1920 x 1080 unless I can play at a lower resolution and it looks ok.


So, I need to find a case, motherboard, cpu, ram ,etc within a budget of $250-350.

Thanks!

Your current gpu can do modern games at high settings at 1400 res, so you may need to play WoW at a res lower than 1900.
