Rig question

If your software supports virtualization of the config.wtf file, then you only want/need the one install.

If it doesn't, then you'd use symbolic links for the Cache, Data and Interface folders, meaning a single install at full size, and one copy of 10-50MB (the size of your addon folder basically) per different level of settings you'd like; probably 1x Everything on (solo boxing), 1x Half Settings (the master), 1x Low Settings (all the slaves).

For the SSD, doesn't each account need a separate Wow dir (for better performance) so 80 GB wouldn't really cut it.

As to the CPU, the bigger price i7 950 is all in all fair (around 260 €).

Most of the time it would be for Wow (but occasionally another game may be played).

As to the RAM, my own preference was also 12 GB.

Thanks for the quick reply and for giving me some food for thought ;-)

Get the 920/930, it's cheaper and a sinch to overclock.

Warcraft generally doesn't like SLI/Crossfire, but you can probably disable that for wow and enable it for other games.

BAM, although if you use isboxer then you can disable SLI/crossfire and offload some of the rendering work for...half your toons to the other GPU and get amazing/better performance.

The 930 replaced the 920 [Deactivated], the 950 replaces the 930 [Deactivated].

I have one thing to say.
