First time builder , probably overspending
###Build Help/Ready:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
WoW immediately , further down the line more demanding games. Also likely to use it for Solidworks as part of my degree and for casual video editing.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
Looking to play WoW on ultra with >60 fps at 1080
Want to have the option of playing new titles at similar settings for a few years at least.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
~$1500 (£1200)
Lower would be ideal but want to do this right the first time around
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
UK

Feels like quite a generic build but I'm aware im probably overspending for a build that is mainly intended for WoW. Advice and/or suggestions much appreciated.
