Hey guys, I need some help on this rig since this is the first one I've ever done.

I mostly play WoW

I need to know if everything is okay and if I picked the right stuff to work together

Also any suggestions to keep the price around $550 to speed it up would be appreciated!

Here's a picture of the shopping cart

Poke around the combos and see if you can't save another 20 bucks or so getting a combo deal on your processor and mobo or memory. Newegg is loaded with combo's that you can nickel and dime your way in to some better parts.

theres your memory and CPU and its 17 dollars cheaper. cause you buy it as a combo. That will pay for the upgrade in the PSU so its self fulfilling.
