I'm looking to build a computer for World of Warcraft and of course the usual browsing as well as school work. I do not plan on playing any other games on the computer for now or the foreseeable future as I have a console. I heard WoW is more CPU intensive. Will the i3 suffice? Also, I had trouble picking out a graphics card. I am just looking for something that will allow me to run on high-ultra settings with no issues.
Here is my build on pcpartpicker:

I appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I decided to go with something more future proof. I would like to get input on my build below. It is a mini-itx build. I do not plan on doing any overclocking. Just plug and play. Does the motherboard I selected seem like overkill? Also, is there any reason I shouldn't go with mini-itx?
