    no, no it cannot multibox. It's too powerful, the game will run so fast it'll make reality implode.

    Serious: Yes, it can and will do it exceptionally.

    You'll need DDR3 memory with that motherboard, you have DD2 listed. Other than that, you haven't mentioned a keyboard/mouse either. Since you are going with 1156 socket, you'll be on a dual-channel board for memory. The board listed only has 4 slots, so you'll want to run in pairs (or quads) of ram sticks.

    There are only four DIMM (ram) slots in your motherboard, you've got six on order.

    You don't need an insane video card for boxing. I 10 boxed with less of a computer than you have specced. Here is the video card I used (or close to it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-534-_-Product.

    I am a bit confused about your hard drive choice. You have 2 drives in a RAID0 array. Are you going to run your OS from these? RAID0 provide a little speed but NO redundancy. If the array screws up (which it can be prone to) you lose everything on those drives. It basically will give you 1 - 2TB drive. What I have done is to run the OS and core programs on one drive and run WoW from your array. However, I also see that you have an SSD on order. This is where your WoW will run, right? It's generally a good idea to have your game and your OS on different drives.

    My current setup features a small HDD for windows and other junk, two small 10k RPM drives in a RAID0 array. I have the luxury of having another machine with massive storage for music, pictures and videos.

    Also, be sure to order a 3.5" to 2.5" mounting bracket for that SSD.

    Correct, as I mentioned earlier.

    Corsair XMS 4x2gig

    This is a 4x2gig set of the same ram you were looking at. This is what you need.
