PSU should be fine.
I think it looks nice but you may want a 1024MB graphics card, I say want because Im not sure if the 5600-series will benefit that much from anything above 512 mb :)

Ok any chance you could find me a graphics card that is a good 1024mb card that is compatable with all that the max amout I have for a graphics card is £63 on this site http://www.overclockers.co.uk

Thats about the spec of my laptop and I can dual box fine. WoW is very light on requirements compared to most MMOs. The 1 gig graphics card would be nice to have but not necessary.

I would consider 1G min on video card for multiboxing a minimum.

You're wrong. You can multibox with much lower quality cards provided you're willing to turn down the graphics settings.

The OP is dual boxing and doing it on a budget rather than spending thousands of dollars on pointless hardware increments to get some sort of epeen award. Your 'advice' isn't helping him.

Shortie, it's worth trying a few other sites to get the most for your money. I've often bought from Scan, Maplin, and PC World:

With Maplins and PCWorld you can walk in and buy over the counter saving delivery costs.

You could also try QuietPC they sometimes have cheap stuff, especially in the B-Grade section:

They've got one 1G card for under £60: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/bgrade/zo-gt220

I don't think its pointless, I would think that not having to transfer 1/2G of textures from the hard drive (slowest part of the whole system) every so often would be more valuable then a lot of other things of a similar price. Even a slower gpu with 1G would seem to me to be better then a faster gpu with 1/2G. Even a slower cpu would hurt less then less ram on the graphic card I would think.

Minimizing Hard Drive access is the name of the game.

But ya he can multibox with 1/2G (I do on 3 of my computers but the upgrade to 1G video ram is the first thing Ill do to upgrade).

Theorycrafting for the win.
