Your cpu and ram will be fine for 5-boxing - I'm only running a dual core @ 3.2GHz with 4GB memory. However, the video card(s) you select and your monitor resolutions will play a large part in frame rates. First, what displays will you be using?

shit m8 i admire you for that!
i had a SC3,0 ghz w 2gb ram and a decent 256mb gfx card that i found unplayable with 1 wow client due to some lag during raids and main cities...
i have zero tolerance for lagg btw

Edit:had typed Duo instead of QuadGo for 8800GT512MB instead, (based on new 65nm core = cooler, less power req) it have marginal performance difference from GTX and huge difference between the one you listed, also it should be about the same price around $210+

{edit} also I want to add that 8800gt support PCI-E v2, so You might as well grab a board thats supports it 8)
