I’ll be heading out today (or this weekend) to purchase this at Microcenter in Michigan. This system is being built to play games specifically World of Warcraft and I would like high FPS 1920x1060 res on Ultra during end game raids. The budget is $1100 without an OS.
Does anybody have any suggestions that will reduce my cost and/or increase my FPS? Also, I’m willing to go a bit over budget for an item that is considered higher in quality and/or quite. I’m open to switching any item other than the CPU provided it is available at Microcenter especially the case and PSU.
Thank you

I don’t plan on overclocking but the price at Microcenter for the K version of the CPU is less than the others because of the bundle with the motherboard.
