$900 Legion Build

[zelia]

Hi, I'm looking for a little guidance as to selecting parts for my first build. My budget is $900 and I already have a hard drive and a cd rom drive. I don't need peripherals and I have an OS.

I'm looking to hopefully be able to play in ultra in majority of legion areas without my FPS dipping below 40 in extremely active areas (Hopefully maintaining above 60 fps most of the time). I won't be playing other games besides WoW on this pc.

I've been looking around at parts for a few weeks now and I'm considering going with the geforce GTX 970, however, I'm not sure which version (overclocked, standard, etc) of it I should get. I'm also considering for my CPU to get the i7-4790k. Everything else I'm a bit clueless on what I'll end up getting.

All input is appreciated.

i7 4790k and gtx970 are old tec now. The following should server you well for 1080p considering the budget. All you will need to add as an upgrade is a +240gb ssd.

This is as good as it gets for 900, just buy a windows key online for ~30 bucks and your are gtg. I highly suggest taking a look at this hybrid hard drive i linked, i upgraded from a standard HDD and it is night and day faster from when you press power button to pc being usable, its very ssd like in that manner.
