how about an Intel build?

Intel I5-750 quad core + PNY Geforce GTX 460 1gb card: $424.99

EVGA P55V 120-LF-E651-TR LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard: 74.99

(this micro-atx mobo is only 8x/8x, but its SLI capable and very inexpensive!)

Mushkin 4GB DDR3-1333 RAM: $69.99

OCZ Fatal1ty 550W PSU + Spinpoint f3 1 TB HDD.

MS Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit + NZXT GAMA-01BK case: $129.98
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.437504.11-146-061

The case is basically similar to the Rosewill challenger, but not as expensive (Challengers have gone up because of low supply since being featured in TomsHardware)

Rosewill 4-pk of 120mm case fans (this fills up 5 of the 6 120mm fan slots): $6.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200061


Total: $826.92 + 13.97 in shipping for $840.89 total including shipping.
There's also a $20 MIR on the PSU.

should be great for WOW, SCII, and many other games until 2012-2013, esp. if you add a second 460 down the line.
