    In future I advise you to read the stickies and fill out forms like this one
    Include the following information when posting a request.


    Budget
    Resolution
    Games / Settings Desired
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
    Country
    Parts that can be reused
    Do you need an OS?
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?


    Ideally include a list of parts, we see the same request almost every day. There are other topics that have parts lists that you can copy and modify.

    Secondly Use PCpartpicker in the future it will save a lot of time for us who don't want to open 9 windows.

    Well for starts you need a third party cpu fan. I would get a more reliable power supply and I wouldn't get that cheap piece of shit case either. I personally would get a larger SSD as well seeing I have a 240 and it's full with almost. I think a lot of people forget how big windows is

    Well it was mainly just changing the 2 things I would change you can easily upgrade to a 240gb ssd and stay under 1200. As far as running those games in Max settings WoW you should be fine, LoL I assume fine the only one I'm not sure on is FFXIV there seem to be some complaints from users that in game doesn't run as well as it should but given there aren't many of these I'm not sure if it is cause for concern.
    Here is a benchmark from ffxiv with your gpu and cpu choices in 1080

    Now the 970 is a great card reviews like this http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gp...eForce+GTX+970

    So I imagine yes you can play all the before mentioned games on max setting with no issues.

    Largely because, if you're making a new build rather than upgrading, then IMO there's no point in not taking the Skylake route. You can even fit in a 2*8GB 2666MHz DDR4 kit in my build, should the need take you.

    I should also add I already have the PSU and CPU cooler so my overall costs isn't that bad

    Yeah, Skylake is the name for the processor micro architecture.
