I am about ready to order parts for a botting setup. My plan is to run 20 bots max or so, and I want some input before I jump on anything and make a purchase. I will be building this PC myself, and I have a list of parts compiled below. Will this build be enough to run about 20 bots?

Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor

Corsair H55 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Asus PRIME Z270-AR ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card

Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black ATX Mid Tower Case

Corsair VS 600W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

 

I am on the edge of using the i5 or i7, but unsure if the hyper threading is really needed. Suggestions?

Get a i7 its really worth, i got 3 botting pc's atm and 2 have i7 and 1 had i5 can really notice a diffrence

You have whole computers dedicated to botting 0.0

 

I wanna be like you when I grow up

got 3

i7 cpus usually improve the performance of java programs through hyperthreading due to the high amount of threads used by the jvm, you don't need a gpu at all for runescape and it will not increase performance since jagex only started using computational shaders in latest rs3 graphics, ddr4 memory is a complete waste of money because you won't see any difference and you should go for 32 gb anyway 

also you dont need a GPU

GPU is purely there for dual monitor support and to have DVI outputs etc.

recommend waiting for AMD ryzen releases

this ones about 329 USD. even if you don't buy it, there will be price drops for Intel cpus.

I have a i5 7th gen, in a laptop and shes not too bad I can run 11-18 bots with no a lot of issues....

Remove the video card. Get onboard video.
Remove the water cooler.
Remove the ssd, replace with small hard drive.
get 6, 8, or 10 core cpu. you will be able to run 40-90 clients for same price. don't buy any AMD cpu, it's a waste of money in almost every case but especially in a case like this where you want maximum performance over all cores. consider getting a server motherboard with two xeon processors for anywhere from 16-32 cores and 64 threads total. could run 200 bots.

Get an intel.

I prefer price per performance. Although its best to wait until actual end-user benchmarks, things are looking real good. Check out this graph

 

oo, Thanks for the visual aid!

Thanks for all the input, this will be super helpful for when I decide to jump on something! I considered AMD, but heard bad about them in the past. Regardless I will be waiting it out for now.
