I am looking to build a new computer that will be used primarily for gaming. I play WOW, Diablo 3, Starcraft II, and random games from steam(whatever is on sale).

Here are the parts that I have put together. Just looking to see if these parts all work together, and if they are going to be what I need. I don't want to do overclocking or crossfiring.

Thanks for all your help.

Their probably arnt any games that you cant play with that. Maybe you could save some more and get a SSD for your boot drive? Apparently they more or less double the boot time of anything on them
 
Forget the SSD on an $800 budget. But if you want to get one, get at least 128GB, ideally 256GB. Currently theres a price war going on with SSDs honestly, I'd hold off a few more months.

Also the 7850 is a better video card and around the same price as the 560 TI.
