A budget is needed. "As low as possible" isn't useful, really. That could be anything. State how much you're willing to spend, and that's how much you'll spend, and get the best for it.

Budget: As low as possible

For a university student or a millionaire? That statement is literally useless until you give a reference. You should give out some numeric figures then we can help. Plus it's not that hard to put together a build for something, still glad to help though...

Do you want a GPU in the meantime? Do you have a placeholder?

Do you need an OS: Yes

Why wouldn't you use Windows 7? Most stable and reliable OS for gaming, that is still the benchmark for gamedevs. What, are you going to run WoW on Debian or Gentoo?

Windows 7.
Around 400 to 500. The less the better.
Everything minus GPU and peripherals.

I can get a i5 4670k and a h81m plus mobo for around 150 quid. Is that worth it? Used mind.

[the boar]

a 4670k for £150 isn't too bad, but it looks like you already have a h81 board? guess someone is selling them together?

gonna assume you are reusing your ssd, case and talking about wow on ultra.. and that you already have a decent cpu cooler. also assuming it is compatible as most tend to be, but check that out or tell us what cooler you have

this is about as cheap as i'd be willing to go. i feel like i missed something though.

as for os.. just throw your ssd in and boot it up, it'll probably be fine. if not, eh, shenanigans or £20~ on a cdkey website.
