Hi everyone, building a new pc for WoW new expansion, i am looking at Intel I5-4690, but I've always wondered which if the 2 companies would be better for WoW, your thoughts please .

i5 4690k all the way if you are overclocking!

i5 4690k with gtx 970 will be good for you !

Anyway what is your budge?

Actually I do not have any budget I can spend whatever it takes however I don't want to spend on something that I am not going to be using it for example I know wow is not a demanding game so I do not want to get the 980 for example, I was told that would be an overkill so I do not want to waste money like that, I would spend to the maximum that I will benefit from

Also I have read that wow is a CPU intense game so some people say it is good to overclock to get more FPS some people says there is no need so I don't know if I should get the K or not also on the graphic card I have read any GTX that ends with 70 and up is for 2560 x 1600 resolution or for dual monitor and GTX 60 and below serious is for 1920 x 1080 resolution single monitor and this is what I'm shooting for so I don't know if I really should get the GTX 970, like I said earlier I will spend but not to waste money.
