Looking to build the cheapest computer yet able to raid in WoW with none/minor lag with settings on good mostly high maybe some on Ultra, but if not Ultra its not a big deal. (Only WoW will be running on this computer)

This is what I've researched so far:

CPU/Processor- AMD Phenom II x4 940 $135
Motherboard- Not sure what will go with all components the best. I'm clueless here.
Ram/Memory- 4GB DDR3 $45
Harddrive- 500 GB SATA II $45
Graphics Card- ATI Radeon 5750 $109
Case- $80 nothing fansy as long as it holds everything.
Power Supply- Not sure how much it takes to power all components.
Monitor- 19" $100
Cooler- $54 assuming I need one this expensive/cheap.
Optical Drive- It's not needed is it? I'll download WoW from the internet.

If you have cheaper options that will play WoW just as good if not better or I need better components I'd appreciate the feedback. I don't know what other major components I need (I can get the keyboard and mouse).

Thanks,
Tenno

This computer would run WoW well for $400. I'd pay $30 more and get a 5770 though. If you wish to play More than Wow, I still recommend the $700 build from your other thread. It would still be very good two years from now if you picked up a second 5850.
