Approximate Purchase Date: this week (the closer the better)

Budget Range: <700 excluding monitor

System Usage from Most to Least Important: World of Warcraft

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Location: Boston

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No? What does this mean

Additional Comments: My friend had help me put together a build and I'd like for you to review it. There is an extra 4GB of RAM so I will be using 2x4GB. Also there are some extra 120mm case fans. Not really tech savvy so I'd like as much information and critique as possible, thank you for your time.

You don't need a Noctua cooler for a locked processor. Drop that and invest the difference in getting a Radeon R9-280X, that will be a far better GPU than a GTX 960 will be.

Also ditch the PSU - not sure about that one. Get a Seasonic G instead, or an XFX Pro.
