New build for 10-Boxing WotLK PvE

[jkutswings]

Hi. I'm VERY much a novice to multiboxing (just leveling 2 characters at once using HotKeyNet on an ancient i3 system for now). But I'd like to get a new computer that can comfortably handle up to10-man raiding on Icecrown. Not necessarily 4k visuals - I've been used to such lousy graphics that even medium settings would be paradise - but a rig that can smoothly tackle PvE with decent resolution.

Here's my targeted build:

My questions are:

1) Can this setup easily handle up to 10-man raids?
2) With this list of hardware, what's my weakest link if I decide to eventually push to bigger groups (15/20/25)? And how "future-proofed" is this rig?

Thank you all in advance for your expertise. The multiboxing community at large has already been a great help in getting me started on a great new way to play.

you might wanna replace that PSU. 650W isnt to much to play with.

Something more like 850W? That's easy enough, and only another $20-$30.

Hi,
Ryzen 5 2600 should be enought for 15 chars.
I made some changes: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hq73jy
Not sure if 16GB is enought for 20 chars, also you should get Win10 Pro license from ebay/key sell sites with couple $.
You still need DVD drive? You should use faster USB flash drives for everything, Windows installing etc.
Motherboard has onboard ethernet port so that TP-Link adapter is not needed. Also I would't recommend that Sandisk ssd for main drive get Samsung Evo 970/860 instead. Wait for black friday sales!
