I haven't been in the PC seen for the past 5 yrs. Using apple due to what ia study. I have no idea what's what now...

I need someone's help with parts. Main reason is to play WoW in full setting and SC2. I already have a 22LCD screen or a HDMI 32" LCD/TV screen i can use.

Already have a "SILVERSTONE Sugo SG01-BF Black Aluminum / Steel MicroATX Desktop Computer Case" which i used it like 5 yrs ago. My budget is arund $500~$600.
I need graphic card,mobo,cpu,ram.
 
Might I suggest checking out Newegg?

If you want to build a nice budget gaming rig, I'd go with AMD. Decent performance and I decent price.
 
3) Where do you live?
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
6) Will you be overclocking?
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.

-This is the power supply that is sitting in the silverstone, however i don't mind buying a new one if that powersupply isn't sufficient.

1. Where in the US do you live? Depending on your location, you may have a fry's or microcenter near you to get some great deals.

2. I think a new PSU would be good to have. That one has 75% efficiency and based on what I read, it runs fairly warm.


But a basic build using newegg...

Core i3 550 + GIGABYTE GA-H55M-USB3 $207

Radeon HD 6850 $180

2x2GB DDR1333 Mushkin ram $43

Antec NeoEco 520W $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371030

Depends on what you want to do, if you have a microcenter near you, you could get the x4 640 combo for $99. Depends on how much you want to spend for certain performance.
