I've been having a lot of issues with my current computer, so I'm deciding to buy a new one, but I'm not so savvy on the best computer parts.
I really just want to run WoW on decent settings without any lag whatsoever. I'm not saying Ultra, but I'm hoping for Good to Best settings without shadow.

some of the stuff might be a bit overkill unless you plan to upgrade this to a beast system down the line. Like a case that can support 2 power supplies is probably unnecessary unless that is the only option available :P You would need to be running 4 GTX 680's before you need a dual power supply.
The liquid cooling is a nice option but also not really necessary the GTX 600 series runs a lot cooler than the 500 series because it can downclock itself to save power/heat when it isn't being used.
If anything I would downgrade on the case / cooling and either go for a GTX680 or a GTX660. That will give you the biggest performance boost. Although fair warning the GTX 700 series is already being put into some laptops. It is expected they will release the GTX760/780 sometime in may if you want to hold off till then for a big discount on the GTX660 or go for the 760.

Thanks Flik!! I'm gonna look into other cases, and I actually have 660 GTX in my current computer, so I can just move that one over.
Thanks for the help : >
