I made this wish list about a year or so ago then ran into money problems. Now I'm looking to build a computer and need to update this list. I priced it at 1,500 when I made it but only have a budget of 1,000 now. I'll use it mainly for WoW and other multiplayer FPS.

Any budgeting/hardware suggestion tips would be greatly appreciated
