Oioi, I'm ordering a new build next week and i'm wondering if anyone has any remarks/suggestions.
I'm using it mostly to play World of warcraft, Starcraft 2 and a new released game now and then (Mass effect 3! :p)
Currently i have a old AMD dual core 6400+ black edition with DDR2 4 gig Ram and a MSI GTX 465. So my CPU is the bottleneck atm. Especially for games like wow and starcraft. I wont replace the GPU for now. Dont think it has ever worked on full capacity due to my old rig. My budget is 1000-1200$ (I live in belgium so that's 800 - 900 euro's). Oh, and my PSU is a Cooler Master real power pro 620W so i don't think i have to replace that one aswell.

Asus DVD-/+/RAM DRW-24B3LT 24x/24x/12x SATA Bulk - 27 euro's

Asus P8Z68-V PRO Gen. 3 iZ68, SATA600, USB3.0 - 177.50 euro's

Corsair 2x4GB, DDR3, PC14900, CL9, Vengeance - 66.50 euro's

Corsair Midi Tower Graphite 600T ATX - 143.30 euro's

Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz 6MB Box - 197.70 euro's

Samsung SSD 2.5", 128GB, SATA600, 830 Series, Desktop - 178.90 euro's

Samsung Harddisk 3.5" 1TB, SATA300, 7200rpm, HD103SJ - 99.00 euro's

Total = 927.80 euro's

Take a look at this build and then remove items you don't need. Note that it includes an SSD for the boot and a WD Black for the data drive (you could step down to a green and save money if you stayed with the SSD).
