How much FPS would it get in most MMORPG Games? Mostly games like World of Warcraft and Aion.

I want a 1000$ Gaming PC Build which has 60+ FPS in such Games as stated above.

I defiently don't like having much below 50FPS - 60FPS :3

If you can have a better build that this for 1000$ please share it with me!

Also does the Memory RAM work good for this build? I heard it's best to get a low profile Memory RAM. For some reason.

Thanks
 
The CM Hyper 212 EVO doesn't like tall memory. Make sure the memory doesn't interfere with the fan.
I would choose the Samsung 840 EVO over the Kingston SSDNow V300.
The Corsair CX series have cheap capacitors; I would choose a different Corsair PSU model.
 
Up until now, I have only encountered only one MSI mATX motherboard that didn't let 212 Hyper Evo and tall memory modules coexist. I would keep the 212 Evo.

I agree on the Corsair CX. It is lower quality than what you pay for. I would go for either one of these, with the Seasonic preffed:

And I would also go with Samsung over Sandisk.
 


The quality of the PSU is more important than the 50 watts in difference. The XFX PSU is significantly better than the Corsair CX PSU you had before.
 
The link you posted gives an ASrock motherboard of which I approve. But you said MSI of which I don't approve. I don't want to start a war over here, but I always avoid MSI. Had too many problems with them, and MSI ranges from good to excellent to bad and completely catastrophic. MSI is just not consistent. While ASrock is. Made a switch from Asus to ASRock in the LGA 775 era, not a single regret even up until this day. Of course I still go for Asus if the budget allows it (motherboard speaking). For video cards - Asus, Asus and Asus and always Asus.

On the other note - yes, quality of PSU has nothing to do with its Wattage or 80+ certification. Some 80+ Bronze units from Seasonic or FPS or their re-branded versions like XFX, be quiet!, some Antec series, some Rosewill series, Corsair AX (i think it was, can't rememmber which one was build by Seasonic)
 
GTX 770 is high-end. Even my 650 TI is able to max all MMOs I threw at it. Going R9 270 with the idea of upgrade later is bad as well. Get a 770 now and don't bother for 3-4-5 years, MMOs don't go crazy on graphics. Or get a 270 and change soon. Sounds like 200 wasted.
 


Replacing a 200$ gpu is easier than replacing a processor. If I were you get a 270 and either throw in atnother later or save a bit more to get a i5 and a 770. Another option is getting a i3 and a 270 then get a 5670k and 880 in december.
 


I know its a bit much, but its a 130-140$ coller on sale for 80$
If you would like i could put a list together with a 7850k and a 770 and mabey a 780 or 280x.
