Cheap Rig

Last response: in Systems

Hey guys, I need some help on this rig since this is the first one I've ever done.

I mostly play WoW

I need to know if everything is okay and if I picked the right stuff to work together

Also any suggestions to keep the price around $550 to speed it up would be appreciated!

Here's a picture of the shopping cart

That's a decent budget build, the only question I had is why the DX 10 video card. I know that's all you need for WOW, but there just may be a DX 11 game you may want to play in the near future. I would recommend a HD 5770 or a GTX 460 whichever you prefer. also for the money, look for some CAS latency 7 (CL7) DDR3 1600 RAM, it isn't that much more expensive (minus the MIR, which I have had terrible luck with).
