If you are on a budget; you could replace the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 with a Q6600 and still run 5 wows.
Also the nVidea FX PCI-E 9800 GX2 is essentially 2 cards in 1 - so quite expensive as well; I run 2 x 8800GTs myself and I don't know if you can run 5 wows on 1 gfx card like that (I think you can as the poster above states).
You are getting an Nvidia SLI board. This is the support forum thread for this mobo. With your 9800GX2 are you planning to run another GFX card as well? Quad GFX cards? Otherwise, I suggest perhaps an Intel chipset, like an X38 or X48. I have had issues with Nvidia chipsets locking up. Up to you ...
Otherwise, money no problem, you have a very nice machine. Make sure you get Vista Ultimate 64bit to utilise all your 8GB of ram. EDIT: Wow will only use 4GB I'm told.
Jafula.
