Gaming Pc Build Advice

[GamerFeeL]

Hi guys, first time here, i'm not one who normally asks for advice but since tech is growing and improving so rapidly i've decided to give it a go (so dont be to rough) Anyways i'll get to it.

I'm looking for a Gaming PC(In Australia)
i play games such as Runescape / WoW / Heros of the Storm / HearthStone, and some CSS on steam at times.

I've made a custom PC which comes with a monitor 5ms(gtg) and low end Mouse/Keyboard.

I'm an Avid raider on WoW itself 3-4 Nights a week into Heroic and Mythic prog, i'm happy with Low Graphic settings on games, but would like to play them at Medium - High with atleast 30-50+ FPS

So heres the build i've put together! ----

Yes but if i but for local guys to put the PC together it costs around $200+ AUD. i have a $1200 budget, but can manage to squeeze $1500.
and i need the bigger 2.4/5ghz Wireless, as my house is 2 story and the PC will be going downstairs (where theres no modem/port) so i need the stronger wireless for the extra strength due to it being further away.

Also i get 3 year return to base warranty, but i do pref intel over AMD but i can't seem to afford it with the current build...

(EDIT): Also that gives me no adivce either what so ever about what i play and if it would be suitable.. (also i dont buy from Mwave, i've had bad dealings before in the past im afraid so i'll stay clear of them).. But Thanks anyways!

Here is the 2nd build ( a bit more expensive, Broke my budget here but willing to do so, as i prefer to i5)
I'm asking for advice! to the games i play if they could handle 30-50+DPS on RS/WoW for the next few years.... and if posting from part picket etc, i'd prefer to buy the whole combo from 1 store as it makes my lifer a bit more easier then parting stuff out and sending it away. (in my opinion anyways)

What if i was able to change the PSU? Maybe a 650W from Pccasegear like this -- http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=21572 -

Or get the one from CPL ? and put that into the system? i did some research and i dont see it conflicting at all....

But also i cant buy parts and then get someone to built it as it's going to be paid off.. so it's hard to explain but once i'vr bought parts, then im out of cash to pay for the built, and i dont trust myself as i dont have very steady hands when it comes to that stuff... so more advice is muchly appriciated!..

But i got like credit exsisting at PC case gear still, around $200 i can get that PSU.. but sadly they dont do whole builds anymore, hence why i looked at JW they're local(ish) and can go in store if any problems if you understand what im saying!..

If you want to buy a PSU from PCCaseGear than this one is the best option http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=30389

If oyu are going to play games like Runescape / WoW / Heros of the Storm / HearthStone, and some CSS, get 750ti and upgrade your GPU later if you decide to play more demanding games, keep the i5 it will last you around 5 years before needing an upgrade. That sould left you with some money to pay someone to build PC for you.

As for the Laptop i wouldnt get it, you get very little performance for the amount you are paying

This Laptop is the best you can get for your money.

http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Notebooks/Gaming_Notebooks/59333-NX.MUXSA.006-C77

As you can see the best GPU you can get is GTX 950M 4gb vram, which is weaker than GTX 750
