You can build a computer that plays WoW for $500 or so. WoW isn't that demanding, but it depends on what resolution, and how high you want your graphical settings.

Few more questions before i go and oder everything:

1. Should I change anything at this poitn

2. Do i need a different thermal paste or is the one they give u ok

3. Should i get cable sleeving, if so can u direct me to a site to get it, (preferably newegg.com

4. Should i put neons in it, if so site link again

i think that covers everything, thnx again for all your help

Hoshslatz

The Thermal Paste is adequate, don't sweat it. You don't need Cable Sleeving, just keep your cables away from the fan. I mean, it looks good, but you don't need it, ya dig?

Have fun building, and don't be afraid to ask for help if it doesn't work...

OH yeah, the Centurion case is pretty much the best case for $49.

Hey man, sorry I left you hanging. At least you got all these guys to help you out ;)

Sony Does pretty much everything non-HD, that's a pretty good price. Most other brands are about the same.

As for HD's look in your sunday paper for ads and stuff, like Best Buy, or Fry's, if you have one near you.

If not, then try this one? Seagate

AGP, right? The x1950pro is faster and something like $20 more expensive. I would go for it..

Ok, lets take a look.

Case and motherboard = good choice. PSU is out of stock. I would go and buy a more expensive Corsair 520W, or this OCZ GameXstream it's 20 dollars more.

Monitor is good, I have same model, though I have seen it at lower prices..

Well, at a quick glance it all looks pretty solid, how much is it? I didn't...really calculate it.

Well, really it's a matter of preference. I'm asian, so a Widescreen monitor feels normal to me, and a fullscreen feels ...cramped. (JK about the asian comment). I like widescreens, because I do audio work, and I have a wider screen to arrange windows on. The problem with some games in WS, is like on R6V, I'm forced to play a 800 x 600 and now my view is always stretched out.

But price range i would say is prolly around $1100 with monitor, keyboard and mouse, and OS, obviously the whole comp. too. Vista is fine if u guys thinks its ok. I have speakers. Thats bout my price rangeHoshslatz

$1100 doesn't sound bad. 19" and 20" monitors are going for dirt cheap right now, so the tower will probably be around $800, 'cuz you still gotta get a OS. Do you want AMD or Intel? AMD or Nvidia? Depending on how highend you want, AMD is actually still a viable choice.
