are their any other parts that would be essential to having these components?

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1tb

Don't get seagates, horrendous warranty.

Everything else is pretty good except for the XFX Pro. It's not one of their better units. I would get Antec or Corsair 700~750w.

and do either of this have noticeably better improvements in graphics than the hd 7870?

 

[cutebeans]

7870 is faster.

Sorry, you've been linking dead newegg links.

The only time I would recommend a 660ti over 7870 is when the buyer plans to play WOW.

how come? I get in and out of WOW

and could i replace the 7870 i listed with this and still get the same performance?

because its cheaper..

 

[cutebeans]

Get a 660ti .

7800 series has problems with WOW.

 

[MasterMace]

I'm a 40/20 kinda guy when it comes to PC building, that being 40% graphics, 20% cpu for the budget. The CPU is spot on. The graphics though seems under.

In my opinion, you should look into a GTX 670

[z_man22]

what problems does it have with WOW? and MasterMace I think that might be a little expensive for my budget

 

[cutebeans]

Google it.

FPS problems.

alright would it be smart to get a cpu cooler or liquid cool?

 

[cutebeans]

Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or Evo.

Don't get Liquid cooling.
