So,
First time builder looking for a computer that will handle gaming/work/home life. I have previously purchased computers from builders but am looking to learn more about building them/having a project to do/have one that i can say i built. I also plan on doing slight overclocking
Budget: ~1200 or under
Resolution: 1920x1080 1080p
Games / Settings Desired: I want to play WoW highest settings possible (i know ultra cant really be done in raids)/mobas/rpgs/and a couple of first person shooters when desired
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Nope.
Country: USA
Parts that can be reused: Possibly Antec 900 Case
Do you need an OS?: yes
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: No have all already set from a previous computer
I have been looking around and have come up with this configuration? Hopefully i can get some advice from everyone regarding the build.

While i know the i7 4790k is a lot of cpu to only be doing slight overclocking i do wish to "futureproof" the cpu as much as i can.
Another concern I had is will the ripjaws x series ram have enough space for the 212 EVO. I have seen many say that the sticks are touching or very close, is this something to be concerned with?
