So my old system is starting to give out on me and I've been looking around for one that can play WoW, Steam games, and pretty much almost anything along those lines.
I came across the CyberPower Black Pearl and after a lot of research this is what I came up with. I'm not necessarily the most tech savvy, so help would be appreciated! Thanks!~ c:

The gtx 650 is a weak video card. At 1080p you will be at low settings. Maybe medium in wow.

16gb RAM is too much. 8gb is all that is needed for gaming.

The PSU is stupid overkill. 600w is more than enough.

The i7 is not needed at all for gaming. An i5 is exactly the same.

The Video card is the single most important thing.

This system is VERY unbalanced.

Would you mind going onto Cyberpower, build a computer, and then sending me the link? Honestly, I have no idea about some of the specs. (I'm such a noob.)
I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I will probably get into it when summer starts. :/
 
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 (All Venom OC Certified)
HDD: 120 GB SAMSUNG 840 Series SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 530MB/s Read & 130MB/s Write [+21] (Single Drive)

Ends up being like $1500
