    Will it run WoW on ultra with no problems? What about new games? Can I get at least good perfomance with high settings?

    This would be a better choice for WoW, and.. well most other games. it's also a lot cheaper. (If you're willing to spend $815 total, you can upgrade that to a 4670K + Cooler and board)

    NOTE: Buy the PSU TODAY OR TOMORROW. It's an excellent unit, and is on a crazy rebate. Rebate ends tomorrow. Get it now, regardless of what you end up finally picking.

    For 7$ less you can pick up M500 instead of Evo http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial...-ct120m500ssd1
    Also, what @chazus said about PSU - BUY IT ASAP!

    I would advise against a 120 gb M500 as performance is poor compared to other SSD's of that capacity, the M500 series is more interesting in bigger sizes which perform better and preiced lower then alternatives. Better pay the 7$ and get good performance.

    How do you compare SSD's performance? You look at numbers? Those are just blatant lies FYI
    M500 is as good as EVO or any other SSD on the market.
    Unless you are a robot and you can notice differences of miliseconds :O

    There is enough data available that the 120GB m500 performs poorly compared to the EVO, if the price difference was bigger in favour of the m500 it would be an option for people on a budget as it stand, for 7$ I will take the better performing one.
