My PC is getting old now, 5 years of heavy use

What do people think of this build
 

 

 

So any suggestions.

Going around that average budget and PC gaming of World of Warcraft and video encoding.

@lee32uk I already have 3 SSD's
Also why would I need such a high end GFX card? Only Pc gaming I do is World of warcraft

Also in no hurry, just thinking ahead for like august

I put it in because it was still around the same overall price as your build. You can go with the RX 580 if you want though.

You just said PC Gaming not "I only play WOW." so putting in a better GPU for around the same budget was a good suggestion.

So I play 1 PC game only. So a better GPU just for one game is a better suggestion?

No, that's not what I'm saying, in your original post you just said "PC Gaming" in general, you didn't mention you only played 1 game until after they recommended a better GPU. A better GPU was a great suggestion, we just didn't know with the information you gave that you only play WOW.

Just says PC gaming and video encoding, nothing about you only playing WOW so how would we know that until you told us.

Well thats a good point, last time I asked here for a build suggestion and said I only play wow. The GFX card suggested was costing $450. I prefer better cooling as when gaming I normally hit like 60+ c

does it have to be white and AIO not Air cooled?

No I am going for a Red case of the same one

the motherboard almost costs as much as the cpu

Well that would be because the CPU cost has dropped $200 since April.

Like going from a GFX card from 200 bucks to 400 bucks?
Also I do not like to go for Stock coolers. Because using them I seem to hit over 80 - 90c when video encoding. But then the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO listed does look good.
So what is the benefit of a Micro atx motherboard in a much larger case?
