Will a comp with these specs 5 box?

well.... it looks a LITTLE better than mine. you might want to go with 8 GB of memory though for some headroom, 5x wows tends to eat it up. What OS you planning on?
also, you can't really judge the fps solely by specs. i can tell you that i run my main at 1680x1050, 4 slaves 800x600, with maxfps 45, maxfpsbk 15 and that works out really well.
edit: just noticed you have a dual-core cpu listed... mine is a quad core 2.83 GHZ so i can't really tell you exactly what to expect on that front, you should be ok though

1) 4Gb RAM is too low, 5xWoW under Vista are eating up to 5.5Gb in Orgrimmar or AV skirmish.
2) Dual core CPU is a no-no. Currently I have Q6600 @3.2GHz and sitting in Org eats 100% on all 4 cores. AV battles eat up to 80-90% CPU total load. Getting quad-core CPU is your first priority, more RAM is second.

What you need to do,
1. Get the E8400 as its better value for money. saying you £10-15 atleast for that extra 0.16ghz which can be easily got without strain.
2. have 2 installs of wow on, 1 for main and other for mains. Have these on the hard drive with windows or fastest hard drive you have. this will increase loading up times for anything.
im running with geforce 9800GT 512mb, E8400 3.0ghz, 4gb x DDR 6400 800mhz. and im hitting 70fps on main in windowed and 30fps on second screen with my alts. The graphics card your getting should hit higher up, but wow is more of a ram affected game due to all the files being loaded in and out of it constantly.
personally i prefer the higher fsb you get with dual cores compared to slower quads. if any thing put main on one processor and alts on the other.
