Custom Build 

Need a Custom Gaming Build

I need a custom gaming computer build done, it'll be mostly for WoW.

I'd like to be able to have the option to easily record/stream if I ever wanted to do that as well, because it might be something I would want to do down the road.

As far as a budget goes, like $1250.

ps no ssd's, they're pointless for what i do

Better CPU heatsink: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/enermax-cpu...r-etst40tb

If he wants to stream he should go with a i7 4790k

Assuming you don't want to overclock, this will be the best you'll be able to do. Enjoy mate 🤝

Not overclocking is like having a racecar but never taking it to the racetrack. Wasted money, you could also drive a Fiat Punto than which uses less fuel.
(although if you own a Lambo or something I doubt you give a fuck about fuel pricing).

You made a nice example why you would want to overclock :3
I think ninorossiis' suggestion would give you the best for your budget. Good luck OP.
pros inverse is con, why does congress have no progress?

RAM is overpriced, and I don't think one really needs a cd reader/writer anymore, they're super outdated. Also, why not overclock? It's free performance essentially.

Because:
A) He might not want to overclock because he is afraid of screwing up.
B) He might be a general user and not know how to overclock (Like 80% of the people).

RAM isn't overpriced, it's just CL7.

Although yes, if he wants to overclock ninorossii's probably better.

Screwing up is pretty hard if you follow some guides, the members here are generally pretty open to assistance coming to that topic. Juice that thing to the max, you paid for it so juice it.

All you have to do is follow a simple guide for whatever processor you want to overclock, many people make guides like this to achieve a simple (yet somewhat small) overclock.

With overclocking, set the vcore as low as it'll go for stock clock, then up the multi until it's not stable then up the voltage in small amounts.
It's not rocket science, just requires a lot of patience if you want a high overclock that's stable.
Getting 4.5GHz is a piece of cake.

Don't forget stability tests (prime95/SuperPI).
