    New computers are always fun, especially when the last one you owned is showing its age. Just a few things to point out...

    The 690 is a dual-GPU card, and it might not play nice with multiboxing because of that. You'll most likely be okay, but the recommendation for multiboxing is to always get a nice beefy video card with a single GPU rather than going with SLI. You can turn off SLI on that card if problems arise, but you're only able to use half of the card then.

    Also, if nVidia partners are following suit from the last generation of cards, that's only got 2GB per GPU and it isn't additive. It's such bullshit marketing that they do that.

    Which drive is the game going to be on?

    That 60GB SSD might be cutting it close if it's going to be the OS drive and the WoW drive. I also wouldn't put any games on a WD Green drive seeing as they run at 5400 RPM and you'll feel the lag. If there's still time you should opt for at least a 120GB SSD for the OS/Game drive and use the WD Green for storage of... music, movies, and whatever else.

    You could probably 10 box on that. Your processor is better than my new computer and I 5 box with 0 slowdowns, even tried 5 boxing with 5 additional windows open and had no problems there.

    Except for what MiRai brought up. Maybe another 60GB, one for OS and one for game.
