Need a gaming computer

[NoComputerWizard]

I'm looking to build my own gaming computer for around 800$. it needs to run WOW, and SC2 at hopefully high settings. I would really like to stay with and intel processor other than that i have no restrictions.

So if you guys could give any suggestions for a build please tell me.

Thanks

Total w/ shipping + rebates: $810

Bare in mind that is hardware only. If you need an OS in your budget, you will need to cut back, but as it is, that will run Starcraft and WoW on max settings, no problem

Yeah, my total budget is 1,000 dollars so 800 dollars on hardware and 200 on OS and Microsoft office

So i changed Three things, i am hoping that this will still work.

Tell me if it doesn't

Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161349
-i saw some pretty good reviews on this so i picked it

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
If i can still use the psu you previously told me then I'll use it but i just thought this card would need a little more power.

Hard Drive:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136795
-i needed more memory than 320gb so i chose this

If there is something that won't work then tell me please

Thanks

Hard Drive: I would instead go for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185 instead.

Twice the capacity of the WD drive and you get extra performance, whilst paying less.

PSU: Mine would still work perfectly fine. Though both are excellent units, I would take the Antec, simply because you are saving $15 in doing so.

GPU: There is not enough between the two cards to say one is better than the other. Both are as near as makes no difference on par, and swap blows for which performs better on different applications and different games, but the difference is never more than 1 or 2 fps, so just go with the cheaper option, which in this case is the 560 before MIR, but the 6870 after MIR.

I would, however, swap to this 6870: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150506

because of the better warranty and much lower price (which is apparently just for the weekend, so if you aren't ordering today, then go for whichever the cheapest 6870 is at the time, but I would recommend against PowerColor). They are the exact same cards, just different manufacturers,

Okay, so I'm going to stick with the same video card and get the 1tb hard drive, also ill keep the larger PSU so i have some extra power just in case i add something more.

This is going to be my first time building a computer and my dad is trusting me to spend his own money so I'm really nervous in building this. Is there anything to these parts that might cause me any trouble? and are they compatible? I'm just being really cautious because i don't want to waste my dad's money in making a faulty PC.

Thanks
