What's your budget and where are you buying from?

I don't think I would trust that liquid cooler, and there's no way the FX-4100 will come close to overthrowing even the i3-2120.

And the 6850 / 6870 will be a better choice than the 7770 will be.

Actually WoW is one of those games that won't give a rats ass what CPU you use.

- Liquid cooling is dangerous and unnecessary, my advice is to forget it.

- If you want to stick with an AMD build, that is a decent motherboard, but the Phenom II 965 is the same price as the FX-4100 and is a far superior CPU.

If you want to overclock, this is all you need to get you to 4.0GHZ, which is a solid overclock.

Some things the 7770 does better than the 6850. They trade blows rather fairly. Although I would say neither are ideal, but respectable. They're both better than my 550 TI :lol:

Why not build your own? Its not as hard as you'd think. They don't have a Phenom II 965 option. Even though they're older, they are better than the FX CPUs, even though WoW is a game that the CPU won't matter, I'd still get the better CPU, just for the sake of system integrity. Both the FX-4100 and Phenom II 965 are $110 on newegg.com.
