CPU- (Will last you a good while)

GPU- (ATI 5770 will destroy WoW, nice cooler!)

HDD- (I'd personally hold off on an SSD until the prices drop more)

**This will put you over 1k, I'd use what you have already and save up.

PSU- (Corsair is the best IMO)

Without an SSD you're at $980 in the newegg cart with a badass rig of quality components! I don't see an SSD being worth the prices to have a bit skimpier load times. If you want a good hard drive get a Western Digital Black or Samsung Spinpoint and give the SSDs another year to drop in prices.

If I hold off on SSD because of prices, would my other option be those fast Raptor drives? I only need 40-80GB because again I don't plan on installing anything other than core apps.
