I am going to be building a computer for online gaming and have done a lot of reading over the last few weeks online, I currently play world of warcraft and my last computer took a dump on me. What I am wondering is which computer build would be better not only for playing world of warcraft but any other game I change to over the next year or two with minimal changes to hardware.
Build one:
Power Supply: 850 Watt -- CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 850w Power Supply - SLI Ready
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 940 Processor (4x 2.93GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
Memory: 6 GB [2 GB X3] DDR3-1333 Triple Memory Module - Corsair XMS3 Dominator w/DHX technology
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5870 - 1GB - Single Card )
Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D Premium -- Intel X58 Chipset CrossFire and SLI Supported w/8-ch HD Audio, Triple-Channel DDR3, 2 Gb Lan, 3 PCI-E MB )
Primary Hard Drive: 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 16M Cache, 7200 RPM, 3.0Gb/s - Single Drive
Network Card: Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card
Build two:
Power Supply: 750W Silverstone Strider Modular Industrial Power Supply
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-860 2.8GHz Quad-core Processor with HyperThreading

Motherboard: Intel® P55 Media Series CrossFire and SLI Ready DP55WG
Primary Hard Drive: 750GB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Network Card: Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card
budget isn't really a concern for me at the moment but really wouldn't like to go above 2k. any help would be appreciated.
