    If your one wish in life is to run WoW on ultra, that PC is insane overkill.

    Very weak GPU in comparison to the CPU. It's going to struggle in new games. Drop the processor down to an i5-3570k since it performs identically in gaming as the i7 does and get something like a 7870 or GTX 660 (non ti).
    i7-4770k - GTX 780 Ti - 16GB DDR3 Ripjaws - (2) HyperX 120s / Vertex 3 120
    ASRock Extreme3 - Sennheiser Momentums - Xonar DG - EVGA Supernova 650G - Corsair H80i

    Exactly what I have... An i5 2500k and an XFX 7870. Runs WoW on ultra at 60fps and Bf3 (1920x1080) with all settings maxed at around 70fps
