    I have a pretty decent I7 system although I am a nvidia guy. Your system looks pretty solid but I would add another 6 gigs of RAM that is where most people with I7s bottleneck.

    With 12 gigs my I7 system runs 5 instances of wow just fine even in dalaran and places like that.

    You don't *NEED* 12 GB of RAM. Although it certainly does help in Dalaran/Northrend/if you like watching videos/multitasking other things while playing wow.

    Edit: If you're only doing 2 clients, stay with 6GB ram. You'll most likely never use it all as long as you stay with two clients.
