WoW Comp

[Mac18]

Hey guys, I have a huge question for all of you here.

I'm into World of Warcraft, my last comp just died, it was 3 years old- pretty nice Gateway but I want to try to build my own from Cyberpower...

Since I only stick with WoW, SC, and Command and Conquer type games what do I need.

I don't want to over do it, but I want a computer that can last me 5 years before I need to start upgrading parts.

I want the smoothest WoW playing with great graphics. I use my laptop for school so basically I want the comp to be dedicated to a few games.


So basically, I want a smooth reliable, non flashy computer thats amazing for my wow addiction. Something that will last me a while before I need to upgrade.

My budget idealy is 600-1100, I have a 22" monitor, should I pickup an additional monitor? I use the MX518 mouse, with just my regular keyboard that has the W,S,A,D keys almost worn down.. lol-

So if you guys have idea's for proccessors, mother boards.. video cards, RAM- I would love to hear them.

How does this look for a wow PC? Is there any advatage for getting some parts off Newegg.com over Cyberpower and just plugging them in myself?

Are you averse to building the system yourself or are there other reasons for using C.p?
I only ask because you could cut a lot out of that build and save some money for upgrades like Ram.
My opinion,feel free to ignore,criticise etc as you see fit
Go for an 890 Mobo instead of the 770
lose the 'liquid cooling' option
lose the 'professional wiring'
are the soundcard and speakers absolutely necessary?
The chips a bit overkill for a WoW-only Rig, boiled egg/dynamite style
an AMD 435/440 will run WoW fine at much less outlay
Re-use old cd drive and case if possible,
go for a 550/600w psu, corsair or similar
lose the 3 year warranty (unless you really really feel better/more secure by having it)
look at upping the ram speed (Dependant on Mobo and chip ofc)
thats just my opinion though, others will differ
