Looks like a great spec to me, Only thing I'd say is bump your PSU up to at least 850/1000w if you planning on adding another Graphics Card in the future :)

Thanks for the reply,wasn't planning on adding another card in the future but i suppose its nice to have the option.Just 1 question,i see a lot of people with a nice gaming pc similar to these specs but they all go for the i7 over the i5,would i see any difference going i7 or should i just stay with the i5?

A gtx 780 ti for Diablo 3 and WoW is definitely overkill. To max those games you can spend less than £1000

I knew it was overkill for D3 but i was told wow on ultra settings is very gpu intensive? maybe i was misinformed.would i be just as well going for the 780 gtx then? and still unsure if i need i5 or i7,most say i5 but then i see a lot of stream gamers with an i7,sorry if these are stupid questions,im not very pc wise
