I am thinking of buying a new rig and kind of want it mostly for botting but also for personal gaming on occasion and i wanna have 3 monitors so i can multi task with ease. But im told that for botting it would be better buying a bunch of cheaper rigs over one good one. I was thinking of getting a desktop with 16-32 gb ram dpending on how much i wanna spend and a i7 quead core with 3.6 Ghz with turbo boost to 3.8Ghz and a video card with 2 gb of ram. if you think this is bad please tell me what you think i should do in detail like what sort of thing to buy.
These terms are so broad. You didn't specify ram speed, which really doesn't matter, but only about 16 GB of ram would be needed. An i7 is unnecessary, an i5 2500(k) would be fine considering an i7 only had better rendering technology. Also a nice Gt 520 for cheap, or a GTX 560 video card for multiple instances. The video card is what you should be looking at, not processor, and somewhat ram. Considering one WoW instance will use up around 1.5k Ram at max. I would also just build the build yourself if you really want a customizable build.
Newegg.com - ASUS HD7770-2GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card is this card good enough? and how many bots could i run on it?
Right now I have 2 WOWs botting with Chrome running browsing a few sites and a few background programs for my mouse, keyboard, sound, etc. I have both accounts running on Good settings and have one 28" monitor. I'm using 55% of my ram, 4450mb give or take. It's changing constantly but not by much. I have 8gb of GSkill DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 9-9-9-24. My CPU is going between 13% and 20%. I have an i7 3770k oc'd to 4ghz. My bottleneck is my video card which is a Radeon 4870. I ordered a new one today, 7870, so that should help a little. I was running this exact same stuff with my old setup for the last few years until a week ago using a Core 2 Duo E8500 OC'd to 4ghz and 4gb of ram. I had no problems with my settings turned down and I was still able to browse the web. The difference is I can buy all the stuff for my old system for less than what I just paid for my new CPU. I'm actually gonna sell all my old stuff on ebay to help with the cost of the new stuff. You don't need a completely bad ass system for botting WOW. If you run multiple systems your looking at a lot more power usage but you could have every account on different IPs and MAC addresses. You could easily build a few low end setups for what I just spent on my decent setup.
You still haven't given any specific parts for us to judge on. I've seen people on here post pictures of them running 16 accounts at least a year ago. So if you get current stuff you should be able to easily do that.
ok well here are the major parts.

I'm not sure how many you want to run but you could pretty much run however many you want with that system. I could run 3 without a problem on a video card 3 generations older than that one. The only problems I see, which arent even problems, are the new 2011 CPUs shouldnt be too far out and you could get a 7870 for not much more money if you're gonna spend that kind of cash on the rest of the system. You get a 660ti for a little over $100 extra.
could i run atleast ten? cuz then i could build smaller rigs for more bots after that i was just thinking have one super one for w/e i need it for
took this screen shot for u 2 secs ago My PC Specs: i7 3770 GTX 660ti (Galaxy) 8gb 1333MHz (need to upgrade to 16gb)
should b fine. i run 15, i7 990x, gtx690, 64gb ram. i usually sit at 18gb ram usage, video card is at about 75%, and cpu always runs at 100% because of OC. ive oclocked the cpu to 4.2ghz, and gfx card is slightly overclocked but really didnt make a difference in wow. you wont really know until you try it so just go for it
Bear in mind that although 2gb of gfx card mem is v good, its mostly down to the cpu when it comes to running lots of wow accounts.
you should be able to run atleast 20+Accounts on the system becouse if you put all on LOW graphic(no1 cares anyway since they bot?s) + a FPS lock(maybe) at 25fps(or 30) and you should be fine ... And some1 here said that WoW is using 1.5gb in Ram... LOL dunno who told you that or on what system you saw it but mine takes away 900mb-1,1gb.. (ofc not well raiding or playing instances or being in Org, its just well farming)5 editz: it might be better to get 2 graphic cards with high Memory instead of 1 good 1
Keep in mind that the difference between i5 and i7 is the hyperthreading, that is great when rendering video or working in photoshop, but not very usefull when it comes to gaming, I would go with the i5 version instead and put the rest towards ram/graphics (or just save it)
Medion Med mt 504 2,80 Ghz 3,3 GB RAM 2 Duo CPU 2GB Grafikkarte That are the most important facts from my Computer. With this PC you can run Honorbuddy 5 Times with low grafic. Maybe the 6. is possible, but i dont know if it lags then... 5 Bots are no Problem
Unless the game is written for hyperthreading, no. The i7 isn't made for gamers, it is made for people that use the computer for work. If you want to be able to edit an 2.5Gb RAW file in photoshop while rendering a couple of gigs of video in the background, alt tabing to a database and copy stuff from there into word/excell, sure, get the i7, it will blow your socks off. The bottle neck on this system wont be the processor, it will be the graphic cards processor and perhaps the ram, but I read 16GB Vengeance, and that would be more than enough.
