550-650 Euro build

TheBearJew

Hey, I'm looking to build a computer for a friend of mine and would appreciate any help deciding whether or not the parts I've considered will suffice.

Budget - 550 to 650 euro
Main purpose - The computer will be mostly for gaming and web browsing (More specifically WoW so I'm hoping to base the build around maximising WoW performance)
Parts not needed - OS, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, DVD Drive
Overclocking? - No

Might be missing some useful information there but that's all I could think of.

Anyway, here are the components I was thinking about going with:

CPU - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=41225&agid=1617 - 180.56

GPU - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=39504&agid=1004 - 120.84

RAM - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=44315&agid=1192 - 32.66

HDD - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=49615&agid=1342 - 68.05

Motherboard - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=43133&agid=1601 - 80.57

Monitor - http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=51957&agid=603 - 100.98

This all adds up to around 585 euro give or take a few but without a case and PSU. So I reckon when I add those it will put me over my 650 max budget. Any suggestions to keep within that budget without losing much performance?

Cheers in advance.

You messed up the links a bit, but what you have is a decent start. You want to change the CPU to the i5-2500k to benefit from overclocking though. I'd go with this case:

And this PSU:

Should keep everything within budget.

Wasn't so sure about overclocking as I haven't much knowledge on it and I have read that if not done properly it can completely fry cpu, etc. and wouldn't I also need to buy more/better fans?

And yes, just noticed the links and they are indeed all over the shop.

Thanks for the suggestions also.

Edit: Will that power supply be sufficient for that GPU and everything else? According to the Sapphire website the 6850 alone requires 500W.

They overestimate the PSU needed to take crappy ones into account. That one I linked is perfectly fine for a single 6850 or 6870.

Ok, cheers.

The recommended PSU is out of stock at HardwareVersand, can anyone tell me if This PSU would be sufficient to power the above build and if Cooler Master are reliable with PSU's.

Some CM PSUs are good, but not that one. Grab this instead:
