ok so just need final thoughts on my first build before i buy the parts if you guys have a suggestion to make i would love to hear it and why :)

Buying from Newegg because fast shipping (mostly free shipping) and cheapest prices i could find.

Red means i have not bought green means i already have it

Ok so this is all the parts for the build which is going to be used for gaming in games such as WoW, Sc2, Diablo 3, other rts, and almost any fps game.

majority of gaming will be WoW want to be able to play with pretty much no lag and have most ultra settings but not all.

Are the parts i have going to build a good gaming computer? do i need to switch anything out?

I want to do some light OC for now so i also will need to buy heatsinks for the mosfet.

tips, pointers, or suggestions would be loved thank you guys!

My computer is much less powerfull than the spec you describe above and I play WOW at 1920x1080 with all quality sliders and effects at max. I have it hooked up to the TV and reqularly play a AVI movie on the TV for the wife and play wow at 60fps on my monitor. 60fps is smooth as silk. This rig will be more than fine for what you want.

Lag however is down to your internet connection or the Wow servers the only thing I have found is that bittorrents when downloading eat up your bandwidth and will cause lag so make sure they are shut down or limited.


That OS is fine for that PC
