What should I replace first

the money you spend on a cheap additional PC can probably get you better quality of life spent on your current main pc upgrading something

* Caveat: if you're a fan of using VideoFX feeds to monitor bits of your alts on your main, dual PCs won't support showing you feeds from clients on the second PC on your main PC. You also see a pretty dramatic divergence in cursor position when you turn on mouse repeater depending on your setup, moreso than you do on a single PC. Not ISBoxer's fault to be sure but it's something to keep in mind. That said, it would definitely cut down (potentially) on expense, though if your "cheap" second PC is *too* cheap, you're just asking for headaches.

I do agree that you don't need 64GB of RAM or a 1080Ti or a 12-core CPU to 5-box. You're gonna suffer in massively overcrowded areas but then I don't know anyone that *doesn't* see a performance hit in those areas. You could always test it out on the highest-pop server's most overcrowded faction and see how it does.

Like I asked in the other thread: do you use slot-swap macros (with renderscale settings, etc.) to help out with performance? You might be surprised at how much you can gain through the creative use of detail settings.
