Obviously, I could justify it for other things than gaming. Anyway, I am now also 5-boxing WoW on it. Really, the confort of 8 physical cores is amazing. With 6 and 8 cores processors in the pipe, this kind of power is going to become much more mainstream in a matter of months. I would really not invest in a full hardware-boxing solution now.
Seconded ^

Full hardware boxing is a thing of the past with the all the new CPUs coming out in the next 18 months. Today you can get a mobo from Intel that allows you to put two I7's on it and have up to 96G of ram.

Thinus -

My hardware is similar to yours except I have a Q9550 quad core and 2 ATI 4850's with each card driving one monitor. My big advantage? SSD. Get one. They are cheap now (compared from before). If you want, RAID 2 SSD. Wow just doesn't need all that CPU power unless you want eye candy mode for all clients and if you do, then get 3 more monitors...etc...etc..
