With WoD approaching quickly I've been looking at my system and thinking it's time for an upgrade. I'm a five-boxer.

Currently I'm running a GTX 690 with an i5 processor and 16gb of RAM. (Not posting from that computer and don't remember exact specs) I can cap out the RAM and max the processor. The 690 never gave me the graphics settings I wanted, no matter what I did to it. If I put all five toons to minimal settings, I can usually keep the main toon at ~60fps if I put the others cap at 20fps. All I can get on the main toon for visual upgrades before it starts to bog down is a slight increase on the view distance and spell effects. Past that I start to see drastic fps hits.

My current setup is all 5 stacked on one screen while using a dxNothing (ISBoxer) window to view all the screens. Of all the things I've tried, this helps keep frame rates highest.

Now, the real question: I'm thinking of upgrading from the ground up. I'm looking at 32gb DDR4 RAM, a fancy new Mobo, and an i7 processor. Now I'm stuck on the gpu. Is it best to go for one massive gpu, or would it be better to grab a couple in SLi? I do know that more RAM on the gpu is going to be beneficial. However, I've heard of some people saying that integrated RAM isn't fully utilized in a multi-card setup.

I'd love to know people's thoughts on this and would like to know what other people are running to 5-box and what kind of frame rates they are able to achieve and on what kind of settings. If you know of certain cards or SLi combos that work well, that's the information I'm looking for.

Thanks.
