This is my first computer build. Thought it would be a fun thing to do and slightly cheaper than an actual Apple. Plus having the option to upgrade the parts seems nice. I currently have a MPB and it's at the end of it's life. I would use it for audio production/editing/mixing/mastering and would also like to be able to play WoW (my guilty pleasure) on max settings for once.

Am I missing any parts? Anything you would recommend over what I have picked? Any tips or issues I might have during installation?


Thanks a bunch!
