	Log in to remove this sponsored message Hi guys, I have recently decided that i have had enough of my computer and i decided to build a new one. A friend and I have been working on it, but what he is recommending seems so expensive for what I am looking for. This may just be me though. I am hoping to run games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends on it on the higher qualities and get 60 fps. I may want to have the ability to record/stream one day so if that doesn't make the price astronomical, i would love to have it. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks!

	Your mobo link links to your PSU Other things: - your case and psu are very expensive. You can save at least $100 on them - any particular reason you went for an aftermarket cooler? The stock cooler you get with your CPU works better than the one you linked - you haven't linked a hard drive. Go for a 1tb HDD - if you're only looking to play games like wow and lol, you can ditch the graphics card altogether. You'll only need it for high end games. Live streaming and recording is more CPU intensive than graphics intensive. - you won't need another SATA cable - have you thought about getting Win8? ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	This is the Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119270 I already have this HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145299 (sorry forgot to post) Do you have any recommendations for the psu and case, my friend seems to think i need something spectacular. Why should i ditch the graphics card? Is it really unnecessary? Sorry new to computers. For the aftermarket cooler, my friend argued that it was a neccesity. I was leaning toward stock Edit: Dec 29, 12 9:35pm

	You linked to a SATA cable that time http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1162911 - This case and PSU combo will save you a bunch of cash. A good case is necessary for good airflow if you're doing intensive gaming with a rig that heats up easily. Other than that, it's just vanity. ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	That's an expensive motherboard. Just going to waste if you're just going to be playing WoW and League http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130653 would be a better option Also, if you turn vsync on for most games, it'll run pretty smoothly at between 30 and 60 FPS ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	Because the RAM isn't free anymore, should I downgrade? Also, people have highly recommended that I stay away from win8? Do you think its worth it?

	No need to downgrade at all. 8gb of ram these days is extremely cheap. Only 40-50 bucks. It'll still be cheaper than getting that mobo with the free ram No idea why people would recommend you to stay away from Win8. It's not much different from Win7 except for a new UI ------------------- Maplestory Forum

The stock cooler you get with your CPU works better than the one you linked The hyper 212 runs circles around stock cooler. Do you know what you are talking about? As for case it is personal choice. And never skimp on a PSU. It is heart of your build. ------------------- It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. Marcus Aurelius .

	Smok3Dogg I don't see the point of him having it if he's only going to be playing WoW and LoL. Those games don't even require a graphics card to play at max graphics settings. Tried and tested with an i5 3330 with 8gb of ram. ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	Crusad3r he wasn't talking about the GPU but the PSU and cooler. I agree with him on the PSU part though, I don't think you should ever go for lesser options there, same as with your CPU, those two are the heart of any PC. -------------------

	Because of the newegg deal i'm thinking of switching from http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130809: to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127577 Any thoughts. My brother has shown interest in playing some of the higher graphically demanding games so i'm going to stick with getting a graphics card. Thanks!
