Wanting to eventually get a 2k maybe a 4k monitor if pc upgrade isnt too expensive

maybe atleast 2 2k's

I play mostly wow ATM but i multibox 8 accounts so 8 wows at a time, goal would be too play 100 fps on all 8 wows (With highest gfx) but who knows

Current build:

Windows 10
RX 470
Intel core i5-6500
8GB Ram

7 out of those 8 WoW windows will be doing very little rendering because they aren't in focus; there is no feasible reason to be running them all at 100fps they should be at bg fps so the amount of gpu you will need is minimal. RAM and CPU is more important here. I don't think 8gb is enough but the CPU might be, you can still 10-box on a sandy bridge i7...

if i had that build I would personally upgrade the RAM to 16gb and upgrade the OS to windows 7 and be fine with it.

I also like playing with add-ons and max graphics settings.

I use a program that keeps them all in focus unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying.

I'm definitely gonna upgrade to 16gb since that is very minimal in cost. Have no desire to change to Windows 7.

My other problem is I would like to play at 144 fps with max settings when I play with only 1 account open and I can't do that currently either.

Also bfa expansion is coming out so the requirements for wow will be rising since they are doing a graphics rehaul

So once I get the ram, should I upgrade the processor first then gpu? Or not worry about the gpu at all

I can't imagine anything more pointless than having every single window running at max fps/settings when you should only be looking at one.

U definitely don't just look at one.

I can't imagine you have ever properly multiboxed before

I want max fps/graphics on my main when not multiboxing

I want atleast 60 fps on my multibox team of 8 to avoid all the choppiness, not 100 like in the original post.

WoW's netcode tick rate is 30, so... you really aren't even gaining an advantage past that.
