Will you be salvaging any parts from your current build like the HDD etc?

I suggest you be a little more specific on what you have already, what you want to play and where your located.

Doing the above things may help us more.

I am in the US. I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor. I like to play WOW, I know, not very system demanding. I am looking to build a system that will last for about 5-6 years. I don't need top end tech now, budget matches that. I do play other games, but none of the first person shooter.

I'd look at the buy/sell/trade/ giveaway forum.
you can get some pretty sweet deals there. End up with a system much better than you could of hoped for.
