I seriously find it hard to believe that anyone would actually want an AMD / Biostar combination - compared to an i5-2500K and a Z68 that would be like putting a Yugo up against a Ferrari. :lol:

Here's what I recommend for $1K:

Here you go:

Case: Fractal Design Arc MIDI - $99.99
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 - $104.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3h - $149.99
CPU: 3.30GHz Intel Core i5-2500K - $219.99
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - $34.99
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB 1333MHz 1.5V - $42.99
HD: Seagate Barracuda ST 1TB - $109.99
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 - $249.99

Total: $1,012.99

Hello.
Since your budget is high enough to use a Sandybridge i5, there is no reason to use something lesser.
Also since wow gaming is your 1st priority, wow favors a lot intel & nvidia.

Monitor: ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight $204.99
24 inches, LED, 1080p, 2ms. Whatelse could someone ask?

Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 BLUE $84.99
HAF series solid build and blue leds, as you asked :)

Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 $121.99
Always a great choice (PCIX3.0 2 slots, USB3.0, SATA3, Z68, etc etc).

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz $219.99
i5 2500 for games is the best cpu available.

CPU cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO $34.99
Great cooler for $35 bucks.

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) $54.99
Vengeance low profile so you can add better coolers.

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB $84.99
Solid and fast product. I have mine (320GB version) for almost 7 years and continues...

GPU: MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti $219.99
Factory overclocked to 880mhz!!! it is faster than anything at the price of 219 price.

PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 $104.99
Originally made by seasonic, SLI/Xfire ready, 750watt.

Peripherals: Logitech MK550 Black USB RF Wireless Ergonomic Wave Combo $69.99
Great wireless Logitech combo mouse and keyboard.

Total without MIRS: $1201,90
:)

edit: $1156,90 after MIRS.

You might want to read the OP again. He copied the template and didn't change the part in parenthesis.

The 2500K will be able to handle anything, I think even my i3-2120 should handle D3 without breaking a sweat.
