I'm looking to run 5 World of Warcraft Clients at low video settings. Can this build handle it no problem? I have all the other parts.

Build can be majorly improved performance wise, it will handle it but you can get better hardware.

Are you saying that I can get more performance out of different parts for the same amount of money? If so I'd love to hear your suggestions.

You're willing to run multiple clients in a row I presume right? Check out Intel Skylake.
