Thanks for taking the time to check this out, if you did that is.

well aside from the fact that the memory isnt even compatible (different sockets), i'd recommend waiting for the price of the E4300 to drop and go Core 2 Duo.

oh and you missed the PSU so i'll give you what i would recommend:

E4300

I should also mention you may want to wait and get one of the new 8600 Ultras that are soon to be released form Nvidia

change out the parts i posted above and you should be good to go, Oh and Welcome to the Forums, hope you like it here

Pentium D is plain garbage. I would recommend waiting as COD2 mentioned.

Thanks for looking, but do I need a core 2 duo for a machine that will only be running WOW?
Would I be okay with that CPU/mobo and your corsair ram?
The extra $70 puts me over budget, but if it would make that much of a difference I would get it.
and thanks for pointing out the ram to me.

And this is the PSU I picked out:

You'll be better off with a EVGA 7600GS.

[Deathawk]

The x1800gto is better than the 7600gs, overclockable and unlockable(not sapphires, though, they aren't unlockable.)

Okay, so this is what I have so far..
