So I've played with dualboxing in the past but never was able to go full time into it. I'm looking to change that. In order to do so, i know that I need to severely upgrade my pc to fully enjoy it the way I would like. So I'm thinking about going after a whole new machine. Before I do so, I want your thoughts. What I want to be able to do is 4-5 characters with the settings cranked, and FPS high. However, I don't have a huge fund for it. I want to keep it <$1,000 for sure. I'm looking at the following:

I just want to know if this will do what I want it to and if not, what can be upgraded/downgraded to do so?

Thanks in advance!
