None of the above really, a 760 is probably better for bang for the buck.

But what is your budget and monitor resolution?

Did you ignore my post on your other thread?

Can you keep all your questions in one thread? that would be nice, all your threads are starting to clutter the forum.

This build will give you the maximum gaming performance, with a top of the line video card, with a less high end processor for $1729. However, if you only play WoW, you don't really need the best video card on the market.

Here is another build i would recommend for that budget. It's $1714, and shipping is $65 on top of that. This is an X58 build, which will give you slightly better general computing performance, with triple channel RAM and a higher end processor, but less powerful of a video card. WoW isn't exactly graphic intensive, so this video card should crush it pretty thoroughly anyway. If you need to save a little more, you could go down to a p55 build.

This is the p55 build. it saves you a little money on the RAM and processor, for practically the same gaming performance as the previous one. This build has the cheaper of both builds, with build 2's video card, and a cheaper processor. $1632, which would would be under 1700 even with shipping costs.

Essentially.
Build 1 for gaming(recommended) although might be overkill for wow.
Build 2 for better processor and RAM if you aren't a hardcore gamer and do a lot of other stuff on your computer.
Build 3 for budget.

Any other questions, just reply to this. Also, check out the guide at the top of this forum. Much useful info there.

Oh, i apologize for that. I thought you might open the build and see the video card i picked, which did have explanation. And i assumed that since you didn't reply. Anyway, a 480 is the most powerful and highest recommended, however it's also rather expensive. That's in the first build. A 470 would probably be sufficient for WoW, and save you some money which is in the other 2.

Dragoon is probably right about the i5 760, however your budget does allow for higher, such as a i7 860 or even an X58 build with the i7 930, if you only need the 470.

Also, your monitor link seems to be broken.

There isn't a cut and dry answer, it depends on your budget dude.

Looks like a nice midrange monitor.

Yep, the noctua fans are a good cooler.

You can OC the videocard, i don't necessarily recommend it. It will make it run quite a bit hotter, louder, and consume more power, and the gains from it are pretty small, it's not like processor overclocking.

General rule when it comes to gaming machines, is video card over almost anything else. So if you can get the 480, but it costs you a couple luxuries, or forces you to get the i5 760-which is almost as good of a processor as the i7 860-you should get the 480.

Though if you only play WoW, that may not apply to you. I'll need an expert opinion on that. Dragoon what do you think? lol

Perhaps 434771?

The only difference between a 760 and a 860 is that the 860 has hyper-threading. The only difference between a 860 and a 870 is the 870 is slightly overclocked.
