Building my own PC

[lucas444]

hey guys, I want to build my own computer to play games such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and other MMOs. My budget is at $750, and i wont be doing much else other than web browsing. I may play other games down the line, but the games above are what Im focused on.

I've read that an i5-4590 cpu would be good, but I would like some more opinions about choosing a cpu and graphics card good enough for play games on high/ultra settings, as well as selecting a motherboard and other components.

Thanks guys, any positive opinions and tips are appreciated.


Update: Ive tentatively paired a i5-4590 cpu with a MSI R9 380 4GB graphics card, a) is this a good combination for what I want to do, and b) what motherboard would go with these?

it looks pretty good, price isnt bad. I havent decided on whether to stick with a stock cooler or not, and I think i can get a cheaper storage from Seagate and case elsewhere, but thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, you can get cheaper storage from seagate, it's just the people hate on seagate drives for no apparent reason. Updated list:

How's this? Case can be changed to just about any atx case. You are going to want to the cpu cooler, as a cooler cpu= longer lasting cpu.
