Advice on First Computer Build

[mch]

Hey guys,
First time buying a gaming computer! Been using my old college laptop so don't even have a decent monitor. Currently looking at this PC since it is on sale and fits my budget. Was wondering what you guys thought about it? I mostly play MMO's like WoW, Aion Online, LOL.

It's an ok build. The 270x isn't really the most powerful though for what you are paying for this build (and I assume you will be paying a lot since its iBUYPOWER).
