Im looking to play new mmorpgs games on high settings.I have a budget of around 800ish dollars. This is my first time building a computer, so any suggestions?

Also, what would be a good case and PSU that is fairly inexpensive?

Thanks

More about : good build

this build can handle pretty much anything at decent resolutions. It won't do anything ridiculous (multiple displays) but it'll take on 1920x1080 in just about any game; rpgs should be no problem.

I just got this case in today:

I bought it because it was cheap and I liked the simple design without all the excessive lights. I don't have all the parts for my current build so I haven't tested it.
It is limited to ten inch graphics cards though. I am using it for an HTPC/gaming machine.

As for PSU everyone seems to recommend Corsair or any top end brand. For watts and amps (sum across +12v rails) you will want to base these on what components you choose and what you might want to add in the future.

I don't personally own a 1155 yet (would like to). Hopefully an actual owner can give you a recommendation on which board to get. I'm 90% sure most would get the 2500K if they were spending over 200 on a processor. The old one still got an honorable mention in this article:

I forgot to add that one of the HD 5850's on newegg is a lot cheaper than the one you have selected for a similar performance level. Here is the link:
