So I am trying to purchase a new desktop in the price range of 700-800$ (don't want to spend more than 800). The only thing I will be using this PC for is gaming (with a side of writing essays and surfing the web).
Whats important to know is that the only game I will be playing is World of Warcraft: WoD. This is an mmorpg, so it does not require much and I would like to run it on high settings. My last best buy pc for 550$ ran it just fine.
A few people were nice enough to give me custom builds, but I don't know much about parts, brands and performance, so I am asking you to please criticize the builds and tell me if i should change some parts, or maybe make a better build.
Build 1: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1889061/amd-budget-gaming-build-dendrotoxin-delux.html
This build is cheap, under 600$. So I am very happy with the price, but are the parts good enough? WoW is all i'm going to play
Build 2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JTJPvK
And the third most promising build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($88.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($72.00 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($188.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer ($14.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($86.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $795.91
