Hey guys, I have made some money botting and looking to expand. In about a week or so I am looking to purchase parts for a new CPU, budget ~$500. I want to be able to run AT LEAST 10 bots. I want it medium powered, because I run all settings low and 3d rendering at 50%. I already have a case and multiple PSUs, but I would have to calculate the wattage to see if they are going to work with this build. For the meat of the build I found this: Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more - Newegg.com. i5 6600k, I would be able to overclock this right? 16 gigs ram, probably overkill for 10, but I may be able to do 15-20 with this build with all low settings. After the case and PSU and this combo I will prob just get a 120gb SSD (~$45?) and a $30-$40 GPU, mid-low range. That leaves me with $470 build, and I might have to go over $10 if I need a PSU. What do you guys think?
If this PC is going to be dedicated to botting and not used for anything else, you're probably going way overboard on the CPU. Also, WoW is a very GPU bound game. A $30-$40 GPU is not gonna run 10 copies very reliably. IMO, if you're okay with going AMD, you're probably better off going with a CPU like this so that you can get a GPU like this. It'll balance out the rig a bit more. This way, you can also go DDR3 and save yourself some money there, too. DDR4's extra speed aint gonna do a whole lot for a botting rig. Also, if you can find a good price HDD or SSHD you might want to do that instead of a straight up SSD. If this will be a general purpose rig, I'd go with the kit you linked plus the 750 TI I linked. It'll go a bit over your budget but it'll have enough raw horsepower to handle just about anything outside of AAA games at 4k.
I have done research before that you dont need a high end gpu because all graphics are low. Some even ran a lot of bots on onboard gpu.
i took an i7-6700k and i7-4770 with 32GB RAM to run 9 VMs each system. the ATI HD 5450 isnt enough for this, so ill test an nvidia GT 710 tommorw. both cards costs about 30-40€ i dont know what u need without VMs but i think ~600-700MB RAM per instance (WoW+HB) HB also eats a huge load of CPU (more than WoW in lowest res and quali) leveling with questing eats VM intern ~18% HB WoW 11% of CPU load) you will also get bored of your HDD ^^
With a HD 6570 1GB, 8GB RAM and AMD Phenom 1050T 2.8GHz (six core CPU) I could comfortably run five bots. The major bottleneck was a reeeeally old HDD which would make loading times slow, which would mess up on Everbloom last boss. For the price of the i5, you can often find an i7-equivalent Xeon with hyperthreading that works in the same motherboard.
Is GT 710 now ok compared to HD 5450? What about comparison of 4770 vs 6700 since you have both? I am interested how they perform and mostly how much does each of them heat up? My first priority is low noise and low heat then the performance. I rather have 2 silent computers than one noisy. 6700 has 65W TDP but 4770 has 84W TDP but as I read 6700 gets hot faster therefore more rpms on cooler. Aftermarket air cooling offcourse.
Hold your horses and wait for AMD Ryzen or buy Intel now. Do. not. buy. FX. Unless it's virtually free, of course. It's still almost 8 cores.
This thread made me lol. You can get away with a low-ish end GPU (I run 10-15 bots on a gtx-650). You will need a lot of RAM. Look for a multi-core, multi-threaded CPU. A low-end i7 will run more bots than a high-end i5. (the FX series are fine, just limit your wow settings and fps) Just my 2c - I've been running large numbers of bots on 1 pc for a long time.
This. The FX cores are dirt cheap (as are their mobos), 8 cores + a bucket of RAM and you're good to go.
FX-8350@4.7Ghz+16Gb RAM+GTX670+SSD256 = 10 bots MAXIMUM (CPU and RAM is a bottleneck, videocard load ~60%). 8 bots for internet surfing/music/youtube 480. Xeon E5472 775/771 BIOS@stock 2.83Ghz+8Gb RAM+GTX275+320Gb HDD=4 bots with HUGE lags, because cpu is shit for multiple game windows.
FX-8320E@4.5Ghz+24Gb RAM+GTX710 2Gb+SSD256 = 16 bots MAXIMUM 95% CPU LOAD i buy this system for 500$ with very good cooling/
lower than low graphics settings on wow disable all addon (almost standart) of wow disaable logging in HB disable all HB plugin lite version of w7 16 bots is max for this PC
Can you link your settings on pastebin.com? And how to disable logging? I have NONE in HB logging, but every day i need to remove 1-2Gb of that.
Extremely low settings (20fps limit), 24Gb RAM now, with NONE in logging, addons: auctionator+post, tonns of windows 8.1 tunes...and only 12 bots, what's wrong?
Running memclean will reduce the CPU and RAM usage by a lot. I wouldn't run bots without using it tbh.
