[zezecow]

Hello everyone,
I am looking for assistance on what your opinion of this build and if I could get similar/better setup for the price range I'm looking for. The intent of this PC would be to play wow and other current games on the market at high to ultra settings.

Ideally I want to spend up to 1300 on the pc not including the OS.

Seems like a lot of fluff and older parts being used. Here are the things I noticed:
-i7 960 is a first generation i series chip when the new Sandybridge series i7 2600 is comparatively priced but outperforms its first generation brother.
-The EVGA X58 SLIx3 motherboard is overkill for this system unless you plan to overclock and run SLi.
-The 950W PSU is overkill by a large margin by about ~350W

Realistically you could build a better computer for less by not purchasing it through CyberPower PC.

12gb isnt needed for gaming, 8gb will be more than enough for the next few years.
drop windows ultimate for windows premium (you won't use the feature for ultimate)
you don't need 2GB GPU, drop it to 1gb and get a 560 Ti

last thing is only thing I beg to differ on.
The 2GB GPU will handle this gen and the upcoming games much better, and if it's in his budget might as well get it.

Get an i52500k already overclocked from them, drop down the psu a bit to break even on the included overclocking.

I think 2GB will only have an advantange at very high resolutions (2560x1440). Any lower resolution will do fine with 1GB.

future proofing.
more VRAM is better - helps with dual monitor setups, helps with higher res, no reason to skimp on a GPU when it's within your budget to get a 2GB.
