Little advice on new system needed

[proprich]

I'm looking at the following hardware for a new comp and I wanted to make sure there are no gotchas.

AMD Phenom II x 6 1090T Black Edition Six-Core CPU
8 GB DDR3-1600 A-Data Gaming Series Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX-470 1.2GB - EVGA Superclocked
Gigabyte GA-870-UD3 MB
800 Watt Power Supply
750 GB HD
80 GB SDD

I've read a lot of the post here, the reason I added a SSD :). I'm not computer savvy in the least and any advice is appreciated. I'm particularly curious about the dual video cards and if that is really necessary to run 5 WOW instances on the same comp?

What are you using it for. 5 boxing ?

I would personally push the RAM a little more, to like 12 GB. Everything else looks overkill for WotLK 5 boxing. and I bet cata shouldn't be any problem either.

Also if WOW is the only thing, then you can degrade GPU , and get the best CPU you can get as WOW is CPU bound. But if you are into other games, this rig looks good.

The AMD series only run two channel memory. 8 gigs is the normal limit, unless you use 4 gig chipsets at 2-3 times the price.
The graphics card is a good one, but if you are only playing WoW it is overkill. Seems like you building a higher end system so it should work fine

even though you listed only graphicscard but from your text i assume you want to put 2 of them into your pc? haven't had a sli setup but from what i've heard here on the forums and on other sites it'd save the money for the second card and buy a new one in 1 to 1.5years from the saved money.

the rest of your system looks good :-)

So you are trying to tell me that in order to 5 box... I need to buy a hat for my pc? I'm a Indianapolis Colts fan. Would that kind of hat work or just be overkill for my gaming rig?

Don't quote spam, just report it.

I box fine with 8GB of RAM with an amd phenom 1055t (3.4Ghz). With windows 7 and 5 wow's running I'm at 4.5GB of used RAM. For the rest of the comparison I have a radeon 4890 1GB video card and an intel x25m ssd (80gb).

My main client is on ultra settings with everyone else on low (except for draw distance). I get 60FPS most times on my main (except in Dalaran).
