    FWIW,
    Hyperthreading gives absolutely NO benefit in gaming (and multiboxing) such as WoW. It can actually DECREASE performance slightly, by some reports.

    I would strongly recommend the i5-2500K over the 2600K if you are mainly just boxing WoW (or gaming in general). The 2600K is a wasted $100 more that could be spent elsewhere.

    Also, the 5450 is REALLY low end. I would suggest something better, especially since you're boxing. Look at how low the 5450 is on this chart - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...90,2879-7.html - It is on par with Intel's integrated 3000 graphics chipset and some other REALLY old cards. (it's considerably WORSE than your laptop's 9600m GT)
