Will this build work?

I've gone through myself and it looks like I have all the parts I need to have it shipped and up and running the same day. Just wondering if someone else could also look it over and double check it for me. Primarily for WoW and steam games.

W/Windows 64bit Home Premium, I'm spending about $1200-1300 on this computer. Is there anythign else I'm forgetting or overlooking? Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend just about anything on that list, except the SSD and the GPU. A lot of it is either unnecessarily expensive, or there are better parts for the same price. The idea is good, but some decent money can be shaved off.. or better performance gained.

I'll work up something in a few minutes.

From here, you can go a few directions, if you want to.

-Get a 1TB WD Blue EZEX Hard drive for storage.. if you need one. Many people don't.
-Get better cooling for CPU. Again, not necessary, but if you live in a place where ambient temps are high, or you have poor ventilation or poor AC... might be a thing.
-Another $80 will bump you to a 770. Again, not really helpful with MMOs, but helps with other GPU dependant games.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the case, simply because of the price. There's nothing wrong with it, and if you like it and can afford it, go for it.
