100+ gb SSd disc for windows + wow is a must if you buy new computer nowdays, loads in seconds. Insane!
6-12 gb of RAM DDR3
1gb HD graphic card
i7 920 Processor
All that togeather with a nice chasi and some other good parts results in a computer for about 140 euros.

Don't put Windows on an SSD. If you have a cheap one, it will work very badly. If you have an expensive one, it's a waste - big deal, it will boot faster, because you do that SO often on a modern PC.
WoW data directory, sure, why not, Dalaran will load faster when it's not server-side. If you load Dalaran a lot.
Just my 2cp from someone who's just built himself a new rig and recently started 5-boxing.
I went with:
mobo : Asus 6pt
CPU : Intel i7 920
CPU Cooler : Corsair H50
Gfx : ATI Radeon 5850
RAM : 6gig DDR3. (some recommend 12, but 6 gig overclocks better and is more than enough)
Case : Antec 902 (lots of room, quality build and enough fans to create your own wind tunnel!)
PSU : Corsair 650
I've got Windows 7 premium and 1 copy of wow on a 64gb SSD drive. (look for 200/150+ read/write speeds) I use ISBoxer to sort out my character settings for me, which so far i've had no issues with at all!
Keyboard / mouse / headset / x-keys etc etc are generally personal choice. I spent around £100 in total on them though.
All in all it came to £1400 for me. I've overclocked the CPU easily to 3.8, and the GFX Card to about a 15% clock in total.
With the above, running on res of 1920x1080 through my 37" TV, and 1280x1024 on a 19" for my slaves; i get a steady 60fps on my main, and 30fps on slaves. Even in Dalaran. That's with max settings on my master, and medium settings on the slaves.
Hope that helps a little.
