You guys can feel free to edit the parts list to your liking, as long as the total is under $700 so I can get some ideas.

A few $ more, but totally worth the extra cost. R9 290 and FX-6300.

the CPU may bottleneck the GPU, and I would get a better motherboard if that's possible. If you somehow still got a little money to splash, get an SSD

I'll be overclocking the CPU. Would that still be a problem?

I think dual core for gaming is nonsense. Get i5-4460 or FX8320. Anything below is waste of money imho.

Out of curiosity, will this build be able to run WoW at ultra settings 1080p 24+ fps?

I dont think dual core can pull ultra. But u wont be for sure unless someone with that cpu answers u. Maybe go on youtube and search for "intel pentium gXXXXX WoW WOD ultra"

Is the case compatible? Also what cooling should I go with? I need something as cheap as possible.
