Hey guys,

First off, I would like to apologize if this is the wrong forum; but I have no idea where I'm supposed to put this. Anyways, as the title says, I am currently looking to build a new custom gaming PC. My budget is around $1500 or so for now, and I have a list of things that I've come up with help of others. I honestly have NO idea what I'm supposed to be looking for when it comes to good processors, MOBO's or graphics card. I would love if some of you guys can help me come up with a list of everything with providing me to the links of items that I would need. I've looked on New Egg, NCIX, etc. I mainly play WoW and I just want this computer to kick *** and run smooth all around.

The main problem I'm having right now is deciding if I should go with Intel or AMD. Alot of people are saying that AMD has always been better for gaming but with Intel's new generation of PCU's etc, they have really stepped there game up so as you can see I'm totally lost here. As of now, this is what I have come up with:

**(I really prefer to have what is BEST for gaming, whether it be AMD or Intel. Also, before linking me to stuff can you PLEASE make sure the pieces are compatible for each other, thank you.)**
