CPU intense, but what's your point? still living in the 90's?
just cos a 10+ year old game is CPU intensive, u don't go for a dual core.
I rather have an all around build with smoother feel when using 2 monitors to play games & whatever on the other screen.
Also, you're making it sound like AMD cpu's aren't capable of running CPU intensive games like sc2 and WoW :rofl:
Doesn't it tell you sth when AMD stopped making new gen CPU's & people still buy them? Yeah, AMD/Intel CPUs are so overkill that few gen old CPU can still satisfy its customers enough for them to still buy em.
@OP any of those builds will do what you want,
the intel build will give you the best results, but it will cost you more, can't be OC'd unless ur experienced/don't mind the hassle, not a fan of asrock anniversary board either.
just don't go for a dual core pentium/i3, even though they'll still easily play WoW, it's gonna feel gay when u do other things while gaming.
if u dont mind going overbudget, i'd prefer this than the other build i linked, if ur planning to OC without breaking too much $$$

Would any mid size case do? I wouldn't mind a flashy one.
