You can get a new G300 for $25. Unless you need one NOW, wait until you can find a G500 or G600 or a Razer Mamba or Naga Hex V2 (what I currently have) for a good deal. They're all awesome and will last.

I'm still running a 2500k at 4.3 and it's still pretty awesome. I've gone from a 550 to a 760 and now a 970 all on this CPU. Also did RAM and a new MB and SSD at some point. But like atomic said, pick up a new GPU and you'll be good to go. 1060 or a 1070 if you can. 1080 if you're not on much of...

From what I've seen a 212 should be fine using the plate you have on your current board. If you still have the box with any adapters then you'll be totally fine but I don't think there will be a issue.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233982 Here's a single 8gig stick of that same RAM for $30. You can just run that now and still have 8gigs, then upgrade to another stick later for 16gigs and keep your dual channel. Or get 16gigs now. Running 2x4gig sticks in dual is...

The M3 is a nice board, just keep in mind that with owning a 980Ti you'll have to bump up to a M5 at least if you ever want to get a 2nd card to SLi.

Getting a new case is always a great time to upgrade (that's a pretty good case btw). But that doesn't mean you HAVE to. It really depends on what you want to run. A rift, or 4k would require a upgrade, as well as just future proofing for later. That said, if you're going to spend the money, and...

First off, are you getting a i7-6700k or the i5-6600k lol. Just curious while I'm looking up MBs for you

If you're looking at just FPS then no, a single 980Ti isn't as "good" as dual 970s in some games (it's 6 FPS lower in Shadows of Mordor, but same in Witcher 3). However, looking at the cost, power consumption, and issues you get with Sli, if you're upgrading from a 770 and willing to shell out...

I'm just going to 2nd what max said, people always overlook the PSU, but it's very important. When I'm building a PC and someone gives me a budget, I look at what they want to achieve with the PC, then pick a PSU first thinking about what they want to have in the PC. You don't need to go all...

When I played WoW I mainly used my desktop and used A LOT of addons, I like a really pretty screen. I still used some pretty big UI addons on my laptop and never had a issue. The biggest thing is dropping the ground clutter settings if you're going to raid in large groups, that's the only thing...

That should run just fine. WoW is much more CPU intensive (in cities and raids) then GPU. I have a Asus with the CPU just below that and same GPU and it runs just fine (although the SSD helps with loading times in mine). I do have twice the RAM but don't think that should make a huge difference...

32bit is limited to using 4 gigs of RAM.. so you'll need 64 bit if you want to use all 32 (although 32 is a bit overkill depending on what you'll be using the computer for). I prefer having all my stuff actually installed on a SSD so I use a 500gig with a 2TB external for all my music, movies...

I'll 2nd the h440 or the NZXT Phantom

I've heard a lot of good things about the NZXT Kraken and almost picked it up myself, but I would have had to actually modify my NZXT case a little bit lol so I went with the Corsair (and mine has done great this last year). Another option is a custom water loop (check out Koolance), that's...
