Additional Comments: I have no need for any bling, my pc will sit in the same spot for a very long time. I would like it to be fairly quiet but that isn't a huge concern of mine. I'm basically looking to run the newer MMOs without having my pc run at 1 fps.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need to be able to run something besides WoW!
I have played around with some builds on pcpartpicker.com but I have never built my own pc before so a lot of this is pretty foreign to me. This is what I put together, here I included my CPU Cooler and didn't put in a power source because I have the one I mentioned above.
