Hey guys so im wanting to create a pc for botting (please no comments about just use a dedi/vps i know this is a longterm investment and i am okay with this)

So currently im planning on using ddr3 ram due to price diffrence between the dd4  and me having a few sticks left from upgrading my pc but this leaves me with a few less choices in terms of motherboards/proccessors

so the questions i have currently are 

1. what in your opininons is a good proccesor + motherboard for this  price vs performance is ofcourse very inportant

2. Intel vs amd

3. Lots of cores or a few good cores

4. any other suggestions?

 

any help is greatly appriciated if you have any information you need from me to be able to anser these questions let me know

First of all, how many bots do you plan on running?

I can run 4 bots fine on an old Dell Optiplex with an i3 and 4GB ddr3

What ever is best possible im planning on making a massive botfarm parts Wil be bought with profit from my current pc and laptop (il buy the parts separately no premade builds) 

 

Got 2x8 and 2x4gb sticks atm but planning on buying more

Massive hmm

Ryzen CPUs are better for multitasking so I suppose those would be your best option but don't take my word for it. You'll also need a cheap gpu because they don't have integrated graphics

Yea how cheap is enough i woudnt wanna go cheapest possible but any good suggestions are appreciated 

Post budget. I get a setup for you.

Maximum botting potential

Oh I just noticed you plan on using DDR3

I'd go with an i7-4xxxk then

Assume unlimited budget as long as price vs performance is acceptable 

If you have unlimited budget I wouldn't go with ddr3 because it limits your choice of CPU

Price vs performance setup.

GPU can be even a 1050ti or 1060 if you do not play other games.
SDD can also be used however does not affect botting experience.
Ram can be increased to 32gb if you need to.

Charlotte posted a solid middle of the field build, for ~$1150 that is solid.

I've heard AMD is #1, can't say from experience however. I can run 8-10 bots on a lousy 4 core 3.4 ghz intel 8g ram

@Charlotte 's build is good

 

But I would go for the 1600x instead of the 1600

Also get cheaper RAM, case and GPU

Why the graphics card?

1070 if you do play other games while botting, else you can downgrade to a 1050ti as a base gpu or totally remove it if you don't require one.

Unlimited budget anyway.
