buying a computer for botting HELP ME CHOOSE

[Droppin' Pl8's]

As the title says this next month I'll have about 400 bucks to waste so I figure why not waste it on something that will make me a little money.

So far this are the best choice I can find, I'd like to know if you can find a better one for under 400 bucks let me know where [ must include shipping etc.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

PROCESSOR
AMD Athlon II X4 630 (2.8GHz / 4 x 512KB L2 Cache)

MEMORY
6GB DDR3 SDRAM
Total memory slots: 4 DIMM

HARD DRIVE
1TB SATA Hard Drive

GRAPHICS CARD
Integrated nVidia GeForce 9100

OPERATING SYSTEM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Also if you can tell me how many bots this computer or the computer you mention can handle that would be great I usually use nexus, epicbot and rsbuddy if that matters.

Would you be ok with building one?

edit: If your looking to build one I will help you spec out a perfect pc able to run 20 bots.

 

[Lame]

with 400 bucks your not gunna get the best computer i don't think you will be able to build a very big bot farm with that.

 

[Dopamine]

you're better of building you're own

focus on the cpu, cpu cooler, ram, and buy a case that has room for a ton of fans. Don't spend much money on harddrives or graphics cards. Oh and install ubuntu it uses far less ram than windows 7 so you'll be able to run more bots

It would be my first time building one but I'm fairly confident that I can. the only problem is I would need a os.

I understand this, I'm basically just getting the new computer because my old one is about to kick the bucket and has been in a sorry state for quite some time. I just want to get the most out of what I can afford to make the most profit from it.

is ubuntu free? Also are all bots compatable with it? I don't feel like doing 50 steps just to get my bots to run like I need to do with linux\noppix etc.

 

[Dopamine]

ubuntu is free

 

[blahnoobz]

Rsbuddy is very easy to run on ubuntu as for the others I do not know.

 

[Droppin' Pl8's]

ok cool guys keep the info coming please.

 

[green_gp]

I'd say save up some money, you might get 2-3 bots out of that.

A better example of what you want to save for:
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor
(8M Cache, 3.40 GHz) - I overclock to 3.8 at times.

16 GB DDR3 SDRAM

And 1tb harddrive

I installed Ubuntu and can run around 26 bots with this and run around 92% CPU. This is a simple 870$ setup.

 

[Botfarmer]

DONT GET A COMPUTER, im telling you dont spend 400$... Get a 20$ VPS and try it out then you can keep getting more. It is MUCH more efficient and its like your own computer. PM me if you need help

 

[mill3n]

Not worth it buying a new PC for a bot-farm, and if you do you'll need more than $400 to spend.

 

[Revolight]

You'll need a better processor, cooling system (preferably liquid), and more RAM.

 

[euro-case]

Invest that 400$ bucks in dedicated / vps servers, so after you make some money you simply buy better PC.

 

[Linksys]

i built mine for cheap i easily run 5 bots at a time no problem at all. And i did not spend alot to build.

 

[gamesman99]

I'd get amd phenom II six-core cpu

 

[Droppin' Pl8's]

thanks guys but about the vps I'm not buying the computer just to bot my current computer is about to die processor constantly crashing takes up to 2-3 hours just to load up before I can use it lol so vps are out of the question.

 

[hey124]

for 4xx $ i bought me this:
phenom II 955
4GB 1333Mhz ram
hdd sucks
21,5 inc screen with 1000:1 static contrast.
gigabyte MB ga-ma790xt-ud4p
radeon HD 5870

Thermaltake G case with 4 fans.

If anything is holding me back for running more bots what would it be?
I think it is more ram i need?

how many cores is the processor and how many ghz it have?

also to the above who was talking about their 870$ setup yours seems to be a single core, mine is quad meaning I have 4 processors running at the 3.0

anyways I have already purchased a computer now I need to make a new thread to find out how many bots I can use.

oh also to the person who was willing to help me build one I am still interested in this but would like to spend more money on it. which I'll have as soon as I sell my car. So please contact me and we can do this I'll even pay you a little for your time.

20 bots with $400 budget?
I'd like to know more about this...

 

[jman96]

I was thinking about doing almost the same thing but I decided to get a dedicated server.
