Building A Custom PC Question v2

[BDestroyer8418]

I would go with

atleast a 5770 or 260 - Do you play any other games besides WOW because you don't need much for that game.

The 5770 has dX11 and can Bit stream HD audio (all 5XXX card has this)

Next how long are you planning to keep this setup.

And do you have Frys or Micro Center close by.

AMD x6 is a nice chip for $200 with 6 real cores but I would still buy a 860,920,930 over it unless you have a MB already that will work with the x6 or if you can get your hands on a good combo online which there are a few. Plus there is no game out there that needs 6 cores.

I bought a 60GB which was plenty for what I needed it for Win7 install and all my Apps. Game install go on another HDD. You can disable Hibernate in Windows and you will get back 4GB of space. I have a ton of apps and I'm only sitting at 50% filled right. After the install and the tweaks I was only looking at like 10GB of space used.

You don't need a top of the line SSD right now. You can find a 60GB OCZ on Slickdeals for about $100 AR.

Also Since it doesn't seems like your going to be pushing your system (encoding files etc)and you have a 1K limit you can get a nice AMD build that would be plenty for what you do.

That is a nice Card but the OP needs to understand all the heat will be blown into the computer case so you need to have good Air Flow in the case plus those cards are not as good for Crossfire since it would blow the air onto the bottom card.

I would go with this one (it goes on sale you just need to watch for it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150464
Also has Double Lifetime Warranty as long as you Register within 30 days I believe it is. Means you can sell that card and the 2nd owner can register and get a lifetime warranty on it also.
