Regarding the CPU - is there any argument for going with more than 10 cores?
Regarding RAM - would 64 GB make sense or is 32 sufficient?
A single physical CPU core with hyper-threading appears as two logical CPUs to an operating system. The CPU is still a single CPU (central processing unit), so it’s a little bit of a cheat. While the operating system sees two CPUs for each core, the actual CPU hardware only has a single set of execution resources for each core. The CPU pretends it has more cores than it does, and it uses its own logic to speed up program execution. In other words, the operating system is tricked into seeing two CPUs for each actual CPU core.
Hyper-threading allows the two logical CPU cores to share physical execution resources. This can speed things up somewhat, if one virtual CPU is stalled and waiting, the other virtual CPU can borrow its execution resources. Hyper-threading can help speed your system up, but it’s nowhere near as good as having actual additional cores.
Wow uses a old engine, so 2 proper cores (+ 2 hyperthreaded) should be good, for each game. Then overclock the cpu best you can.
5 games = 5 x 2 cores = 10 cores (20 threads) for best results.
But its good practice to also have some extra resources for the "win 10" etc (atleast 2 cores).
So if you can afford it, a 12 core (24 threads) = pro.
I have no idea how much RAM it uses at 3840 x 1200, im sure you can figure that out yourself right now.
If you have lots to spare, and you have 32, then it seems 32 should be enough.
