I know this are annoying but I'd really appreciate if someone could check my build and give my any help on it, basically my girlfriends birthday is coming and she's an avid Sims 3/WoW player but currently uses a laptop which is pretty damn bad, so i thought i'd build a desktop, trimmings and all.

My budget is around £700 (could stretch to 750) and my build needs a pc, a monitor, wireless network card (<-must have), keyboard, mouse speakers, basically everything for a new pc, and it needs to run Sims 3 and wow pretty well, so i came up with this:

I'd have thought that would have run both games fairly well, but I'm not so technically inclined as to whats fits in what (yet strangely enough i can put a pc together just don't know which parts to get ;)) but maybe i could spend a bit more get a much better system? As i don't really want her to be disappointed with it, i doubt she would but having a high end gaming system myself, i want her pc still to pull its own in those games if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
