New Build Advice

[grippo]

Hello

My 8 year old rig is starting to show it's age and I have decided to build a new machine, I am looking for advice on what to get, I would prefer to go Intel but not a total must have. I have two good monitors and good keyboard/ mouse and I will not need any software either.

Budget - £700 max
Games - Mainly WoW but I try out other MMO every now and again nothing to intense though
Resolution - I use a duel screen setup both 23inch but only play on one the game is not split across both
Country - UK
Peripherals: None needed.

I guess what I am looking for is advise on Case, PSU, CPU, GPU, MB, Memory

Drop the SSD and change the GPU to a GTX970 or AMD equivalent. Will play everything on Ultra without issues at the cost of loading times being a little longer.

and this is basically the build I suggested

Although you can probably fit a gtx970 in there it doesn't seem you need it. I would get the 960 and get better board, case and ssd. You might not even need an hdd if you only play games and don't require the storage. I would rather drop that hdd and if you need storage get it later.
