    Need help with building new PC

    Hey guys!

    I am new to building computers and literally have no idea as to where I need to start. I used to raid off a laptop with an i5 processor and it's lasted me quite some time I'll tell ya, but I have nice tax returns and money to spare and I want to jump on the PC train before WOD comes out! I have a 850$ budget and I raid 25 mans in WoW, so would kill for a nice build that can handle raiding and can run WoW as best as 850$ can get me. I've been researching a bit and I definitely think I want an i5 CPU for sure, but as I said already, complete noob here!

    Budget: 850$ can go a bit over if needed
    Games / Settings Desired: WoW at best settings possible, 25 man raiding
    Country: USA
    Do you need an OS?: Nope
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: Nope, monitor resolution: 1920x1080

    Don't care how the case looks, it could be the funkiest thing ever, I'd probably love it
