    Please help me with my computer comp!

    Hi everyone I'm selling my AlienWare for a custom built computer from NewEgg! My AlienWare can run WoW max settings no problem but crashes and dosent start up sometimes without a problem. I'm selling it now. Please tell me if I can upgrade these specs or if I need a new item to work with the other ones! Please help! I also want it to run WoW at max settings also! EDIT! I have a new setup with a couple more questions! Please help me before I buy it! Thank you everyone for your input and support! It has really helped me a whole lot!

    1) What case is better?
    2) What Motherboard is better?
    3) Some one put down I needed 650W, I found a power source that's 700W but it's cheaper than the 650, which one should I choose?
    4) Do I need the Rosewill 2-Port? If I do, do I need more Ports?
    5) Also the Zalman Cooler comes with an extra hard drive cooler, is the Zalman any good? My older cousin recommended it to me
    Also If anyone will know how to make the computer as quite as possible please tell me!

    I dont know what you are saying? But that computer will play WOW on max settings no problem. Selling the AlienWare (Dell) and get that build if that is what you have to do.

    Get the i5 2500k, drop down to a corsair, seasonic, silverstone or antec 750w PSU, get rid of the sound card, you only need 1 Hyper 212+

    You would save money. i5 still performs just as good as the i7 on most things and its 100$ cheaper. If money isn't a problem then get the 2700k.

    The i5 2500k is within 2% of gaming performance to0 the i7 2600k & 2700k, that would be maybe 2fps at max.

    Complete waste of money.

    PSU is massive overkill, a 650w will power that, 750w just for the extra headroom.
    And well CPU cooler is pretty obvious, you only need 1.

    That PSU is way way way overkill. That thing could power 3-4x 580s lol. Also, I'd recommend either getting the 2500k as mentioned above or at least switching the i7 2600 to the i7 2600k or 2700k so you can overclock it. No point in buying Z68 if you aren't going to overclock unless you want to use SRT or something. Either way, it would be a real shame to drop $300+ on a processor that you can't even really overclock :p

    The 6950 is a great card, you should max most games completely out with that thing. As said before, you only need one CPU cooler. This is just me being nitpicky but I'm not a fan of the Lanboy Air. It seems like it would get annoying as hell to clean out, which you're going to have to do with a mostly mesh case like that. Also, unless you have some BEASTLY headphones or a super high end custom speaker setup, your sound card is pretty much pointless. Onboard audio is more than fine for mainstream audio solutions.

    Other than that, the build looks great.

    I can't imagine that soundcard sounding to much better then onboard anyway.

    Change to this stuff. Case is a lot nicer(my opinion) cpu cooler will be better, ram, well you don't need 16gig, psu just cos headroom is nice, and cpu because it's $100 cheaper and performs within 2ish % of the i7 in games.

    You don't need the extra 2 USB 3.0 ports, the case has 2, and the mobo has 2, then theres all the USB 2.0 ports(which 90% of the usb stuff uses).
