so im trying to build a gaming rig that wont break my pockets. i currently have a build that will cost me around $1300 (this includes a monitor, the OS, and Keyboard). i want to be able to play World of Warcraft and do 10 and 25 man raids with NO lag and im also looking to play other games as well however im not looking to run anything hardcore like crysis.
this is my current build as of now:

this is the build i have now, i was wondering if this is a good build or if im over doing it with some of the stuff i've got up here (i've been known to over do alot of things).

any advice would be extremely helpful
thanx
Hey there, You say you don't want to play anything hardcore like Crysis, that spec would make mince meat out of Crysis! Well, Crysis is a hard game to run well (probably because it wasn't optimized properly in my humble opinion), but that kind of PC would EASILLY run WoW. 'Bob
