Answer
All in all it looks like a great PC,

Two things I would like to suggest to you.

1) The 660 is a very good card and can play most AAA games to date at max setting, but the best bang for your buck with Nvidia cards at the moment is the 660TI as it is very close to being the 670 in performance and when overclocked it is about equal to the 680, if you can spare the upgrade of the card, it would be a good investment on all counts to get the 660TI.

2) I noticed that you did not get the Intel Tuning program ( http://click.intel.com/tuningplan )
I recommend highly looking into getting it.I know that CyberPowerPC does good with their (All Venom OC Certified) but if you also get the Intel tuning program warranty,the warranty covers any damages to the CPU, the best part about it, is if you ever have to RMA your CPU back to Intel, they will replace the CPU for you, no questions asked. That is the best part of the warranty, no 3rd party (CyberPowerPC) to go through if anything ever happens to the cpu while being overclocked.

Just send the cpu to Intel directly and get a new cpu free of charge, a very fast and painless process.

Hope this helped you,

What components do I need for a computer for WoW?

best pc gaming monitor 2010 image

shelby

I want a computer for world of warcraft but i dont know what i need. I want to be running at 60 fps on ultra settings and my budget is $700-$850 excluding monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Answer
Looking to build your own? I find this site has very up to date component lists and gaming rig recommendations at a variety of price points, including yours. http://www.hardware-revolution.com/budget-gaming-pc-q4-2010/ Note: that site does not include Windows, which adds another $100 to the bill for OEM versions.

How much will it cost to build a high-end gaming computer in 2013?

Theo Turne

I'm thinking of building a new gaming PC this year (I built one in 2010 for around £1000 but its getting a bit dated now). I expect to be building around June-July time, and given the current speculation on future releases from Intel/AMD, my specs will be approximately as follows:

i7-4770k
HD 8970 3GB
16GB 1600MHz RAM
Crossfire ready LGA1150 Motherboard
Decent case with 750/850W PSU (for potential Crossfire)
256GB SSD (no HDDs, I hardly use any space, currently running Win 7 with 5 games, using 120GB)
Windows 8 Pro (with Blue upgrade)
Peripherals: 1080p 27" monitor, decent gaming mouse/keyboard/headset (expected to be £300-400 for all peripherals)

What sort of price do you think this would equate to? Note that the launch price of the i7-4770k is expected to be about the same as that of the 3770k, and likewise for the HD 8970. Could I get it for under £2000 (a little over $3000)?

Fell free to make comments on my choices/suggestions (I will consider getting an nVidia GPU but not an AMD CPU). Thanks!
Please note that I live in the UK and therefore prices are around 20% higher than in America.
@Wcdih... I'm not going to get X79 as it won't be any better for gaming than X87. I have a friend with an i5 2500k and a GTX560Ti, another with an i7 3930k and a GTX560Ti and they get Identical fps. Have you got any links to the specs of that i5 you mentioned?

Answer
processor is too much, i5 3570k is all you need.

if you are gettign 16 gigs of ram make sure its 4 x 4 gigs and not 2 x 8 gigs and 8 gig sticks have higher latency timings in general.

rest looks good.

could easily get for £2000

personally i would just upgrade your current one if you spend £1000 on it 3 years ago it must have an i7 or similar and good psu. just get a new graphics card and SSD.

the only thing i would change is the monitor, if you are going over 26" you are far better off swapping to a 2560 x 1600 res monitor, trust me it looks amazing.

my friend has one of these, its amazing:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-dell-u2713hm-led-ips-monitor-dp-hdmi-dvi-vga-2560x1440-10001-350cd-m2-8ms-black-with-4-port-usb-3

okay its probably gonna cost closer to £500 - 525 with all the keyboard mouse etc now but trust me its worth it, if your paying £2000 you may aswell go for the best.

EDIT:

editing due to your post.

you do realise processor has nothing to do with gaming performance. the i7 4770k will perform almost no different than an old phenom 2 965 in gaming if paired with identical graphics cards.

aslong a as a processor can run a game having a better one will make, at most, 2 - 3 FPS difference.

your friends get the same performance because they have the same graphics card, if the one with a i5 2500k got a 660ti he would have far better gaming performance than the one with the i7.

anandtech.com seems to be down at the moment but if you look at the benches between CPUs and scroll down to the bottom and look at gaming performance you will see minute changes between the 3570k and the 3770k processors but , in comparison, huge changes between the nvidia 660 and the nvidia 680.
