I mostly play WOW, Diablo 3 and Starcraft. I would like to be able to play on the highest settings ideally. My build is below, any feedback would be great. Ideally I don’t want to spend much more than 1000. My preferred sit to order from would be NCIX in Canada, cause I can pick it up from my local store. So any areas where I could do with a little less would be great. I am looking to build a single GPU system. I will likely be buying a monitor, not really sure yet but probally a 24inch.
I am not interested in overclocking.. I know the MOBO is a Z87 which is for overclocking and my CPU is not unlocked, but I wasn’t sure what a high quality MOBO for a non-overclocking build would be? Any suggestions?
I also wasn’t sure if there was much difference between the I5 4430, 4570 and 4670, other than the obvious small GHz increases and if I needed a better one for my build or if I could have done with just the 4430.
Lastly, Is the 550W PSU enough or do I need a 650W? The 650W XFX was out of stock when I was picking parts so I just went with the 550 for now.
