Hey, I was going to build my First PC as I want to play WoW on a desktop rather than a laptop, Here are the parts I was looking at getting. Nothing too fancy:

Cpu: intel i5 3570k
motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Motherboard
RAM: Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MhzH
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (Could go with less storage)
Case: Antec Three Hundred Two Mid Tower Gaming Black ATX Case (no psu)
Video: Asus Radeon HD7850 DirectCU II V2, 2GB
Optical: Asus DRW-24B5ST DVD Burner
Power: Corsair CX600 Version 3 600W ATX Power Supply
Wireless network card: ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless PCI-E Adapter

I was recommended to choose a different case and maybe a different PSU as well. I am getting the parts from Scorptech.com.au, I'm in Australia so unfortunately I can't any parts from Newegg etc. Thanks for your advice and what not. I need a wireless network card as I can't get ethernet connection where my room is as well.. Also I was recommended with Radeon HD 7870 XT GPU instead of the one I was planning on getting.
