    Purchasing a PC soon. Is this the right one for me ?

    A few months ago I asked a similar question and got a great response but some financial issues arose and I was wondering if you guys thought this was still a good deal / build.

    My goal is to be able to run games like WoW and Diablo on High or Ultra, excluding shadows. Is this the build that will be able to do that for a reasonable price ?

    I would pick up the GTX 760 instead of 660. Way more performance, only slightly more expensive(~30% performance for 17% price increase).

    Also switch up the RAM to be a kit instead of single sticks, they may not work together if bought separately. For example: Kingston HyperX 2x 4GB 1600MHz, or any other RAM 2x 4GB kit from Corsair/Kingston.

    First, I'd recommend filling out The Sticky. We can't tell if it's 'right for you' without knowing that.

    Second, moving this to the build/upgrade subforum!

    Fixed the small detail, also different GPU, the GPU you picked had 16% off, but it ended 5/8
