    First time build help!

    Hey Everyone, I just lost my computer in a tragic flood and need to replace her

    First time building so I'd like some insight/guidance concerning my choices so far and how I should proceed.

    My budget is approximately $1,700.
    I have my OS system already.
    Mouse and Monitor are not an issue.

    As for my goals; WoW is priority, I'd like to run Ultra settings in 25m raids with great FPS. Streaming capabilities would be secondary.

    So far I've come up with a few components to start:

    Graphics card - GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card -$269.99

    Processor - Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K - $244.99

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Canada, and not too sure about resolution. BTW BOYS

    Leaves you around CA$400 to play with for your next upgrade or for other stuff. Gone for the GTX770 as the cost of it in Canada is the same as in US$, which works out impressively.
