What do you guys think about this build? I was planning on playing mainly WoW but once in awhile playing BF4 and other first person shooters. Budget is around $900.

ASUS Crosshair V Formula ($225.99)
Cooler Master HAF 922 ($99.99)
Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s ($59.99)

Total: $888.93
 
There's no RAM or operating system on your build, and I think you can do better than that for $900 - try something like this:

You could also add in the SSD later and upgrade your GPU to a GTX 770.
 
Thanks for replying, the OS I already have but forgot to add that. I also added the RAM but it was part of a combo with the GPU. When building a desktop, should I spend less on the motherboard then the processor?
 


Depends if you want to overclock or not. If you're not then you want at least an H87 motherboard or socket 970 if you're using an AMD CPU.
