Hey there, i am wanting to build a gaming pc which would be mostly used for MMO'S and some First person shooters or RPGs. It really is mainly for MMO gaming such as WoW, as i am more into console gaming so i don't need to spend too much on the graphics. I would like to spend under $1000 excluding monitor and keyboard etc as I can get them through my work. I was looking at Scorptech.com.au or MSY computers. I would really appreciate some help, I am not good with building custom PC's as I am use to just working with Dell PC's Lol. I also would need a wireless networking card. Thanks, Sorry if I missed any information. No need for overclocking or Crossfire etc. I forgot to add I am in Australia

Gtx 660 ~$200
I5 3570k cpu ~$220
Corsair enthusiast tx650 ~$100
G skill ripjaws x 8gb ~$60

Pick a case to your liking. Nzxt phantom, corsair obsidian series, rosewill thor, coolermaster haf are my recommendations. But case is pretty much a preference.
Lg blu ray drive ~$50
1tb 7200rpm hard drive ~$75

Sorry im on my phone, hard to link things. These prices taken from newegg. Dependig on which shooters you play you may want a gtx660ti. Keep it in mind.

I think the motherboard is an extra 30-40,
I can't seem to find the model of the PSU you recommended on the website i am looking at, Which case do you recommend? I will link you the website: http://www.scorptec.com.au/
I think the GPU is an extra 30 or so. I can go a little over budget if it means better quality. The case is 89 bucks, I can upgrade as long as it's not too expensive, I really much prefer simple cases, No fancy mass of a thing type of case if you understand me Lol. Thanks
