Computer Build Help

[ktaylor2319]

Hello,

I am looking to build a new PC by Christmas time. I have all of the peripherals I will need and Windows 7 64-bit. My monitor has a 1920 x 1080 resolution. I'll be using this computer to play WoW, Starcraft, and Diablo. I do not use any special software, but I would like to upgrade to a second monitor in the future. I also need to have a WiFi adaptor and included it in the build pieces. I live in the United States and put together the part list below based on help from other topics. My budget is $1,000. I'd really appreciate a second pair of eyes reviewing the choices before I commit

Thanks!

Ken

I know the case it's as good as the 500R but really by getting the cheaper one you can get a much better GPU, better cooling for the CPU (swap this back if you must save a few $), much better quality PSU.

For gaming when it's only 30-40 $ difference definitely pick Radeon r9 280x over gtx 760 as Radeon is roughly 20% more powerful card.
