no, no it cannot multibox. It's too powerful, the game will run so fast it'll make reality implode.
Serious: Yes, it can and will do it exceptionally.

You'll need DDR3 memory with that motherboard, you have DD2 listed. Other than that, you haven't mentioned a keyboard/mouse either. Since you are going with 1156 socket, you'll be on a dual-channel board for memory. The board listed only has 4 slots, so you'll want to run in pairs (or quads) of ram sticks.

/sign on the DDR2/3 comment above
Obligatory suggestion: another hard drive

There are only four DIMM (ram) slots in your motherboard, you've got six on order.

You don't need an insane video card for boxing. I 10 boxed with less of a computer than you have specced. Here is the video card I used (or close to it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130534&cm_re=9800_gt-_-14-130-534-_-Product.
I am a bit confused about your hard drive choice. You have 2 drives in a RAID0 array. Are you going to run your OS from these? RAID0 provide a little speed but NO redundancy. If the array screws up (which it can be prone to) you lose everything on those drives. It basically will give you 1 - 2TB drive. What I have done is to run the OS and core programs on one drive and run WoW from your array. However, I also see that you have an SSD on order. This is where your WoW will run, right? It's generally a good idea to have your game and your OS on different drives.
My current setup features a small HDD for windows and other junk, two small 10k RPM drives in a RAID0 array. I have the luxury of having another machine with massive storage for music, pictures and videos.
Also, be sure to order a 3.5" to 2.5" mounting bracket for that SSD.

Correct, as I mentioned earlier.
Corsair XMS 4x2gig (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145261)
This is a 4x2gig set of the same ram you were looking at. This is what you need.

K so adding http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130534&cm_re=9800_gt-_-14-130-534-_-Product and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994085&cm_re=ssd_bracket_3.5%22_to_2.5%22-_-17-994-085-_-Product
and switching the memory to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145261(ty Khemikal for noticing<3)
Going to only get one hard drive and put the os on it, WOW will go on the ssd. Any other suggestions?
