Is this a good setup for 5 boxing ?

Just get a second one of those monitors and you'll be golden ;-)

Indeed. Ditch vista ultimate for home premium, and it will cost you little more for that second monitor.

Seems the weakest part of the system, whats the power supply.

But ya I plan to run 5 on a much worse system then that.

We have the same ram.
Your cpu is better then my Q6600.
My video card (HD 4870 X2) is a bit better and monitor (2560x1600) is a bit larger.
Your SSD will be a lot better then my 10,000rpm raptor.

I run 5 client's on my system and am smooth every where.
Since I SymLinked my system, Shatt has been a lot smoother too. A SSD will be better then a 10k rpm in that regard too.

I'd turn the graphics down as far as you can in each of the background applications.
Reduce the fps to 8 or 10 for those clients when they're in the background.
Go with the lowest settings that you can stand on the main window. Lower settings are less of a challenge on your system.

I would think the game will run better on your rig then mine.
I found with 5 clients at once, and settings high for the main window and low for the other clients, I'd sometimes have one smaller window freeze when taking a FP or flying multiple epic flyer mounts. Since turning the eye-candy down on the main window too, this problem has disappeared.

Me thinks you may run into trouble with that power supply. I would suggest a good brand name PS minimum 600 Watts.

You certainly don't want to power you "Mercedes" computer with a "Toyota" power plant ;-)

Hell yeah I would! Toyota is awesome. But, Your point still stands, getting a proper PSU is important.
