[WoW Classic]PC Upgrades for new 8-man team

[Boxen]

Thank you both for your replies. It's very encouraging to have two responses that both agree 100% on how I should approach my upgrade. I'll expand on a few points raised below:

I'm targetting a single 27" 2560x1440 monitor. The main window will be 1920x1080 in the top left corner. The slaves will be 640x360 running along the bottom and down the right-hand edge.

On reflection, I may only run five accounts which would probably be MMMMP. Still undecided but 8 boxing accounts plus my 2 main accounts is a fair lick of cash each month and 8 would also require me to split my accounts over two battle.net accounts which is an extra hassle. Still pondering on that one.

Update: I've ordered the 3900X

Probably no requirement to upgrade your GPU then. With that low resolution on your minions you'll want to turn all their GFX settings down to 0 anyway. I'd definitely dive in 1st and get your feet wet. Your current PC should handle a lot. If you find that you really want to push more clients or better performance then you'll have the data to see exactly where you're bottlenecked in terms of performance.
