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.

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.
