    Build Help

    So I wanted to get some feed-back before I went off and purchased this mono,cpu,hdd combo for my newest computer build.

    Mobo http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
    Cpu http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
    Went with a WD 1tb 64mb cache 7200RPM for my HDD

    Looking for basic functions, and steam out of this build. I was hoping this combo could handle that, with WoW

    You already have a graphics card or are you planning to run on the igp?

    Skip the board/cpu and get an H81 Board and i3-4130 or 4340. Much better performance for WoW, for about the same price.

    i3-4130 is miles ahead of the 6600k in everything assuming you get a graphics card.

    Thats a pretty poor GPU, wont do you much good.

    A 7750 for 60 $ would be much better.

    I went with the ASrock you stated above, from Newegg. Thanks for your help, I still have to order the rest of it. HDD is the last thing I have to get

    The WD you went with is the one I would get.
