hello all
since my current 4 year old computer no longer fits my needs i will build myself a new one
i've searching the internet for a while and you guys seem to know what u're doing =)
i want to be able to play WoW:Cataclysm at high-ultra settings,other than that standart net browsing and 1080p movies,i don't play any other games than WoW
my budget isnt super-tight but i don't wanna spend more than i need since i only play WoW as for games and dont do editing and stuff
what i have in mind is
case - CM Elite RC-342
nice simple looking case that has a front and back fan
mobo - Gigabyte-GA880GM-2DH
i don't mind load times and i only have an old ipod as a usb device so i don't see the need for sata3 or usb3
cpu - AMD Phenom II X4 840
cheap 4 cores newer than athlon ii only downside is 2 mb cache but is it important ?
ram - 4 GB ??
i have no idea here,low cas low speed or high cas high speed
gpu - GTS450/HD5750
again i don't have a clear idea about gpu
psu - Seasonic S12II 520W Modular
modular and 80 + bronze and it has good reviews
hdd - Samsung HD103SJ 1 TB SATA II
whats the difference between SJ and UJ
cpu heatsink - ???
is there a heatsink that doesn't block the ram slot and has >1 inch clearence from the side panel in a small case ?
will theese be able to run WoW:Cataclysm at high-ultra settings @ 1920x1080 resolution ? (i have a Samsung B2430H monitor)
thanks in advance for any suggestion/answer
