Im kinda new to this and not too this and would like to try and build my own PC to play WoW since my current one is out of date. Heres what I came up with but I dont know if it all works together. I dont need a monitor/KB/Mouse either. Im also looking for something that can play wow on 20+ man Raids without lowering the FPS too low. Hoping I can get this sometime soon so lemme know some input.

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Motherboard - ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO
RAM - 4GB DDR3 PC12800 1600MHz (2x2GB)
Video Card - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670
Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper TX3
Case - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Optic Drive - Some ASUS 24x dvd/cd burner
Power Supply - Some 500w power supply, not sure what to get yet


Looking to keep this in the 500-600$ range ballpark

Thanks
 
what is you monitor resolution?

just looking at what you have, I'd say grab the Phenom II X3 740 BE ($68.99) and a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ fan ($25)

AS Rock 770 Extreme 3 motherboard. Its $69.99

Get Mushkin's DDR3-1333 RAM, 4 GB for $49.99 now, the differene between 1333 and 1600 is negligible.

Samsung F3 500 GB is faster than the WD ($54.99), but the 1 TB is a good deal at $69.99

get a better Powersupply. I recommend the Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 520W for $59.99

If you're at 1680x1050 or lower, a 768 MB model of the GTX 460 will be fantastic for you (as cheap as $129.99)

the Antec 900 is nice, but you can save money with the Rosewill Destroyer for $49.99

LG Optical 22x DVD burner is $16.99
 
$493AR
