First time building a desktop. I finally got tired of my laptop over heating. This is what I have came up with and its just with in my budget. What kind of performance can I expect out of this build? IBUYPOWER says it will run WoW at max graphics (minus glitchy shadows of course) but I'm unsure if they are stating fact or trying to sell pcs lol. Anyways here is the build Thanks for feed back.

Can you give us a link to the actual machine on there website, also you did not say how much this was all costing, but price dependant it certainly looks a solid build and will certainly max out WoW, and play most modern games at high settings.

Only thing that concerns me is that no name 700w PSU, the PSU is the most important part of your build.

This pc carries a price tag of 1500 but 150 of that is for the monitor, as for the power supply my choices are

700 Watt - Standard
750 Watt - Corsair CMPSU-750AX [+$127]
750 Watt - Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 [+$80]
750 Watt - Thermaltake TR2 TRX-750M Free Upgrade to 850 Watt W0319RU ($20 Savings)[+$58]
750 Watt - Thermaltake Toughpower Grand-750M Free Upgrade to 850 Watt Toughpower Grand-850M ($25 Savings)[+$127]

I could drop down to a i5 2500, and upgrade to the GTX 570 and the better Power supply and stay on budget

Why dont you just pick some parts out and bring it to a computer store to have it assembled for you instead of buying prebuilt computers. You can definitely get cheaper prices like that anyways. I dont know how much you are willing to spend, but if you want to max WOW and play other games, get a good graphics card and a i5/i7. i7 is for more cpu intensive games such as WOW and Skyrim, but other than that, a i5 2500k is fine.
