It's in swedish yea but you should be able to see the info you need about every component.

Processor: Intel Core i7 2600 3,4GHz
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 REV B3
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) 1600MHz XMS3
Harddisk: 1.5TB Samsung Ecogreen F3EG
Graphiccard: XFX Radeon HD6950 2GB

I'm not so sure if this will do for 5 accounts, so what's your thoughts about this. I'm mostely unsure about the motherboard tbh. Please give me any tip or anything since i'm kinda new to all this and try to keep the price kinda low since this fits my amount of money pretty good as it is!

Why do you believe that brand new, up-to-date hardware won't let you 5 box? People are smoothly 5 and 10
boxing using hardware that is now going to be 2-3 years old.

What you've chosen looks perfectly fine.

Keep in mind that the i7-2600 has a LOCKED multiplier. If you want to overclock (which only takes pushing one button on the board you picked), you need the i7-2600K (or i5-2500K).

Also, if you're only going to be gaming, the i5-2500K is a better deal than the i7-2600K, as hyperthreading doesn't seem to help with gaming (and may in fact make things slightly slower).

Yea I've changed the processor to the i5 2600k btw

Thats the only difference? HT? from i5 and i7? ( as far as gaming )

HI,
Just wanted to mention MicroCenter has a deal right now for the 2500K and the motherboard you mentioned for a very nice price. $300.00

I am considering that myself.
I have looked into that board and its big brothers and have to say it looks like a winner. Also, with MicroCenter you should be able to purchase a 2 year replacement warranty on the motherboard for 20 dollars. Now, if you are no where close to a MicroCenter... I am not sure how that would work.

Just thought i would pass it along, Basically you are getting the 2500K for $180 and the motherboard for $120.
With the warranty thrown in, i believe it is worth considering.

p.s.- I do not work for MicroCenter

While it sounds like the 2500K/Motherboard combo might be a nice deal, there are no Micro Centers in Sweden.
