Gaming mainly WoW machien £500 Budget

[Dannyboy84]

Iv been asked to look for a pc to play wow for my friends dad, his machine is pretty much dead. I don't even think I can use anything from it.

I have managed to get an i5 build for around £530
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Core i5-6400 2.70GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £179.99
• 1 x Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £99.95
• 1 x Team Group Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (TPKD48GM2400HC16DC0= £59.99
• 1 x be quiet! System Power 8 500W 80 Plus Power Supply - Black= £54.95
• 1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 1050 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £109.99
• 1 x Bitfenix Nova Midi Tower Case - Black= £26.99

Total: £544.16
(includes shipping: £12.30)

I was wondering if anyone can improve on this? I have some spare fans knocking around that I can stick in a case and a AMD 7950 HIS Boost if that would still be sufficient I'm not sure.

any help would be appreciated.

Don't really need the Z170 motherboard if you're not overclocking, so could save some pennies there, maybe channel the funds into getting a 1050ti, though the above should do a pretty good job

Newer and faster CPU, better quality PSU and faster GPU:

If it was only for wow I would be more tempted by an overclocked i3-7350K.

But then it is at a price point where you might as well get the i5-7600K. Same Vs the i5-6400 really.

I used the nova case recently, its pretty nice, no complaints at all.

Cheers for the replys I cant see him wanting to overclock , I didn't notice the kaby lake price was so close that's good to see

I'd recommend a RX470 at least. The 1050ti is very bad value for money.
