So these parts are not completely new like the gpu and my psu. I got the gpu when it first came out and its still working great and I only play world of warcraft anyway. I was on a very strict budget for the other pc parts but I did spend more money on a good cpu for wow.

 

CPU-  i5 3570k with a hyper 212 evo cooler

 

MOTHERBOARD- Astock Extreme 3, couldnt get anything more expensive but this does the job

 

GPU- Radeon 6870 (I dont neee to upgrade yet since I only play WoW)

 

PSU- Corsair cx600 (from my old pc. Works great but sooo many extra cables that made cable mang tricky)

 

RAM- crucial ballistix sport 8gb (I got this free from a friend so I'm not complaining, works perfect)

 

STORAGE- WD 1tb

 

CASE- Corsair 200r (The only thing annoying was doing the cable mang in this case, it didnt help not having a modular psu)

 

 

Overall I was happy with it. yea there could be better parts but I really only do play WoW and this handles it very well.

Nice build i always liked the 6000 series cards i even go back to linus's 6870 surround video from time to time and just think wow what an awesome card.

hahaha I remember watching that video after I got it. I never got around to doing an eyefinity setup, only 2
