Heres what i have come up with so far as far as components id like to know if any of them are incompatible or if there's something better as far as bang for the buck

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 [i have heard a lot of good about antec cases however i dont know if i should get the 1200 case instead for the room as i do want some leeway for everything else]

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130339 from what i have heard this is an amazing bang for the buck but i was hoping for 1 gb of video is there any other nvidia cards that have a little more video memory or any other good bang for the buck?

Headset: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836504001 doesnt really matter but i am getting a set of decent headphones included in the price

as for case fans i might add 1 more in the future

anyways is this a decent gaming rig for running WoW at max and running aion/lfd2 sufficient?

im welcoming suggestions on different parts too :)

thank you hpsucks
in all honesty i have learned not to trust factory made computers such as cyberpowerpc etc.. because i have had too many bad experiences with them but on another note i will look into that gtx 260 as it sounds very interesting
