PC Build suggestions

Hey guys I was just putting this together on pcpartpicker and I thought it was good for the money. What do you guys think? Is this good for World of Warcraft? Do you think this board is good for overclocking? Thanks guys.

Great system for WoW, however that motherboard won't handle an overclock very well due to its limited power phases.

Asus M5A97 R2.0 mobo is better than the AsRock one. Even though u dont need an 650W 80+ Gold certified PSU for ur hardware, u can buy the one I suggested bcoz u r getting it very cheap. Most importanly, two extra cores surely lifts ur pc to greater heights.

Thanks for your help guys, I loved your recommendations. Do you think that system that you recommended could max wow? Also, I heard that Intel plays significantly better on wow than AMD, do you guys think that this could still do it? Thanks for your help guys, I'm kinda new to PC gaming but getting accustomed to it.

Yes, a 280X and an FX-8XXX will max out a lot of games, including WoW.
