Building My First PC

[thehungrymonk]

Hey guys! so as the title says im building my 1st computer and i need some input from people who have experience building themselves. Ive been doing research and trying to find good parts through reviews. ikno there are alot of parts i need to get to build it but i figured id start with an Intel i7 6700k for the proccessor and and the MSI GeoForce GTX 960 4gb for the Graphics. I want to Spend a total of 1000-1200 US Dollars on the whole pc. Does anyone have input on these 2 pieces? any recommendations? Can i get these 2 pieces and still build the rest of the pc on my remaining budget? the i7 is going for 350$ the GTX960 going for 250$

Im decent when it comes to tech stuff ikno my way around windows and the o.s. but Im new to all the lingo and what the different specs mean when it comes to hardware so any info or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

PS The primary things ill be doing with my pc would be Playing World of warcraft (i want to run that at full ultra graphics), working with minor music programs And i would like to run some decent video editing programs. I honestly dont play any other pc games besides world of warcraft but would still like some flex room if i wanted to play something more demanding than wow.
thanks again in advance

Hi!

Are you planning to overclock your cpu? If not,buy the non-K version which is a little cheaper.
And also if you are not gonna use the video editing programs all the time,or you will not be doing any really heavy work on them,i would suggest to go with the i5 6600. That way you will save some money to buy some better components for the rest of your pc.
Do you have a monitor and peripherals?
For the gpu take a look at the Gigabyte GeForce GTX960 4GB Gaming (GV-N960G1 GAMING-4GD). It has better cooling. I live in Europe,and it is about 12 dollars more expensive than the MSI.
