So this will be my first build. This will mainly be a gaming build to play World of Warcraft and maybe some Call of duty black ops. I've been trying to do the best research I can to make a decent computer. I just want to know if all this will work and is a decent build for gaming. I plan on using tigerdirect because I dont want to pay an extra $80 from newegg for taxes since i live in NJ. So this is it , I'm trying to keep this build at $1100 including the OS , is it compatible and do you ave any suggestions? I don't really plan to overclock either since I really don't know much about computers.

Looks good for the most part. Are you planning to buy two sticks of that 4 GB RAM you listed in your original post? You definitely want to run two sticks so that you can take advantage of dual-channel bandwidth.

For $69.99, you could get a much better case in the $59.99 HAF 912 with an added case fan. This has removable drive bays to accommodate larger graphics cards should you ever decide to upgrade to an 11.5" or so.

The board says it has 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, but on tigerdirect it doesn't list their speed. If you were to add another graphics card, both of them would not be accessing 8 lanes of bandwidth, but the second one would be in an x4 slot. So, if you do plan to SLI/Crossfire, I'd step to P8P67 PRO.

Is this a little better? I couldn't find a p67 pro motherboard on tigerdirect and I'm not really sure if ill end up adding another graphics card or not so I guess ill stick with that unless it's a stupid decision.
