i have looked over the forums over the past week after seeing Aelli's shammy vid, that was just crazy and i am trying to absorb all the info on offer.

conveniently i am due for a new comp, just wanting to get some opinions on what i am looking at doing (5xwow on the 1 pc).

what i was looking at:
XFX GeForce 8800GT 512MB XXX 670MHz
Quad Q6600
Corsair Micro 4GB PC-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 RAM
GIGABYTE, GA-P35-DS3R, P35, ATX, FSB1333, PCIEx16, DDR2 motherboard
running on vista 64bit

i also have a 26in and a 17in monitor, i was thinking i could have 4xwow on the 17in and the main on the 26in.

question time
Q1) in order of importance is it gpu then ram or the other way around?
Q2) 4gb or 8gb, or up the ram MHz?
from what i have read it sounds like a helpful and easy going community looking forward to becoming part of it

thanks
From what I see here everything should be fine with running the game. 4 gb of RAM is more than enough for 5 wows, internet explorer, windows media player and watching dvd movies in the background. I do see the Q6600 in there though and I have to say nay on that. Go the true Quad-Core route with the Phenom's and I can say you won't be dissappointed.

The extra money you save by buying (in my opinion) a better quad-core can be spent on upping your GPU to the 8800 GTS 640MB
