    LF Prices for Possible Builds

    Hi,

    Building a new computer has been on my mind for nearly a year and I'm looking for input on price points for one with performance that will handle future games (but mostly WoW) for a while. I'm looking to purchase parts within the next 2-3 months. I'd like to see some prices for peak performance builds and I'd also like to leave the budget as open as possible within reason. I prefer 24" monitors and am planning on purchasing 2.

    Budget: Willing to go up to $4k if there are good reasons to do so.
    Resolution: 1080p
    Games / Settings Desired: WoW / Ultra
    Any other intensive software or special things you do: Some 3D with AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
    Country: US
    Parts that can be reused: No
    Do you need an OS: Yes
    Do you need peripherals: No

    I would... wait 2-3 month, then. Most of the info here won't be of much use by that time. Usually it's best to request for a build about a week beforehand.

    Not including the monitors, I'd expect something around $1400, i7-4770K, 16gb RAM, 770. But again.. I'd ask at that time. Chances are, new stuff will be out by then, or cheaper stuff.

    Something like this:

    CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($334.97 @ OutletPC)
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
