Help with a new rig

[chamoise]

Hello all.

The time has finally come after a few years to make a new machine for myself. After perusing the forum I didn't see too many posts in the price range I was looking for nor too many definitive thoughts on GPU. I had thought to make all the final purchases in the next two weeks.

I'm looking to spend $1,200-1,500 on a machine mostly for WoW which I play at 2560x1440. With that in mind I would like to stream as well and be able to handle what comes in the next 6 months with Legion and Overwatch looming.

I plan to start fresh as far as components are concerned and had thought to run Win10. I do not need any peripherals.

Thanks!

You have spare budget, you could get more storage if you need, the 500gb samsung ssd version. You can even fit a gtx980ti if you wanted in there.

Here's the 980ti build that fits inside that $1500:
