Hello there tech savy people, a person with humble tech skills is here to ask you for help...The surprise must be all over your face. ;)

Well lets get to it...After months of playing a MMO called runescape, I've decided to change to World of Warcraft since i've gotten all I can out of RS. Problem is, the $1200 dell I bought years ago is now subtable to...maybe use as a extreme paper-weight? Luckily, i'll be working soon and will have the money for a new Rig to get my Life Wasting Pixel time going. I'm looking to spend around $500 on a computer that can run WoW aswell as Vent or Teamspeak without lag, and here's what I've come up with:

Case: APEVIA X-CRUISER-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Power Supply: XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply

Procressor: Intel Pentium D 820 Smithfield 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

Motherboard: ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A (V5.1) LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS

Video Card: BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card7600GT

Memory: Patriot 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400

Drive: LITE-ON Black 16X DVD-ROM 52X CD-R 32X CD-RW 52X CD-ROM 1.5MB Cache IDE Combo Drive

Thanks for reading through, if you could tell me if this is all compatiable i'd appreciate it. Also, would you suggest getting a bit cheaper Video Card and possibly going for 2gigs of memory?

Edit: Yeah, I know this is overkill for a WoW machine...But I guess it woudl be worthwhile to just go ahead and get a decent machine.

Goodpower not so good. The 450BL is actually a better made power supply.

Please don't buy an ECS, and don't bother with SLI. If you are going to buy an Intel processor, get a board with an Intel chipset. I'd even take a cheap Asus P5L-MX over that board.

If you can swing it, the 915 is a lot cooler running processor than a 820.

Get a dual channel ram kit, not a single stick - Corsair Value Select DDR2-667 is our choice.

A DVD burner is only a few more bucks, get a retail box so you get software.

Can't beat that video card with the $50 rebate.

Looks good for a low budget gaming machine. The motherboard only has 2 ram slots so if you think you may want 2gb, best to buy that now. I wouldn't go any lower on a video card.
