Hi guys, I need to make a computer for my brother and have half the components already.
Must be Micro ATX
Budget: Do not have one, but just don't want to spend an unnecessary amount for a simple PC.
Resolution: 1920x1080
Games / Settings Desired:
Needed for just games primarily, just WoW on High. Nothing fancy. Also SC2 with good performance but does not need Ultra.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc):
None
Country: UK, England
Parts that can be reused:
Case: Fractal Design r4 Micro ATX
Graphics Card: GTX 560Ti (Can this be used in a Micro ATX Build?)
Storage: SSD + HDD (No more storage needed)
PSU: 550w bronze edition
So just need Motherboard, CPU and RAM
Do you need an OS?
No
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?

He does not need to do any over clocking and does not want to so I recommended the following:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.20GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3H Intel B85 (Socket 1150) Micro-ATX
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
