    Looking for a decent budget upgrade

    Budget: $500

    Resolution: 1080p, don't need anything insane, would like something that can do Legion at at least 60fps on Medium settings.

    Games / Settings Desired: World of Warcraft

    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Nothing intensive but wouldn't mind Occasional Video Encoding and 3D Game Modeling not taking a week to render.

    Country: United States

    Parts that can be reused: I have all the peripherals I need at this time and really only need a CPU/Video Card/RAM.

    I have a MicroATX sized case
    The power supply I have is a Corsair TX-650W Power Supply, I've never had any power issues with it and don't believe it will fail anytime soon.

    Do you need an OS?: No.

    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: No.

    Other Considerations: I strongly prefer an Intel/Nvidia build if possible. I have absolutely no intention to overclock so K series CPU and Z series boards are not needed (unless they're a lot cheaper of course.) Two PCIe x16 3.0 Slots would be nice to have but not a requirement.
