Check out build, ways to save?

[Sleek315]

Hi, ive been in the market for a while and wanted to double check these specs. This computer is mainly just for WoW and music. Might overclock in the future. Just looming to get the best graphics for WoW on ultra and high fps.
P.S. Is the power supply correct? Can i save
with any different choices?


Sapphire Radeon HD 7950
Standard dvd burner
Antec 300 case
Western digital 500 gig hard drive
Pc power and cokling silencer mk 600w
Corsair vengence 8 gig
Asus P8B75-V mobo
intel i5 3570
Samsung 840 ssd
Coolmaster hyper 212

Thanks

This is about 1400. But that includes the monitor assesories. Im trying to save.

The CoolerMaster Hyper 212 shouldn't be needed, the stock heatsink should work just fine for that CPU. You could drop down to a 500W PSU and be fine, the rest I wouldn't change personally

Would 4 gigs of ram be enough for this setup? What security software is recommended?

Sorry, gotta ask here... Why the Hyper 212? Why 600W?

Although 4GB would work, I think 8GB is a better option
There are free and effective AntiVirus programs such as Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast! I would recommend one of those

OP wanted to save money, that is by far the BEST bargain cooler possible.

600w for possible upgrades in the future, you never know.

The stock cooler is free, better bargain IMO - don't need aftermarket cooling if not overclocking
