I have roughly $1,500 to spend on a new computer and will be used to play WoW. Can someone assist me in building my new PC :)

CPU: Intel Core Duo E6600
Motherboard: ASUS P5 (can't remeber the exact name)
Video Card: GeForce 6800GS (have - existing computer)
PSU: 650W (have - existing computer)
Ram: 2G DDR2

Can't chose between getting the Antecp180 casing or use my old case or get the viewsonice 19inch wide screen.

I'd take this RAM before that Team Group

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590

It's over $50 less after rebate and it has higher bandwidth. Plus Corsair is an extremely respectable brand if not the most respectable in the business.

As for the monitor, you can get a good 19in Widescreen for $200-$250 or maybe even less if you check out the sites. As for that motherboard... is it the P5W or P5B? They both very good, but the P5B is $50 cheaper at the cost of I think some Overclocking options.
