CPU/RAM most important?

Hey im looking to build a pc on a budget not sure how much yet..I probley wont have to buy all parts as i already have some from my pc that broke so just wondering is the CPU i get the most important also should it be an intel i7 thing? and for RAM il get 4gb's? What else is priority of importance? Also im hoping to run 4-6 bots, or more if possible. Thanks in advance

 

you would run 6 bots easily with that, like 12+

 

If you want your bots to run efficiently, up the RAM to at least 8 with that processor. And make sure you are using a 64-bit OS to utilise all the RAM. You'll easily run 6+ bots.

 

Personally, I'd go for an AMD Phenom processor. But that's just my personal choice.
Indeed, though. Up that RAM to 8gb and slot in a 1tb hard-drive for good measure. If you like to run other games, buy one of the newer nVidia GPU's and enjoy the quality. Shouldn't cost you too much and it'll be a kickass system. You'll run 6+ like a breeze.

 

yeah, i think im going for the AMD processor my friend also said he preferred that. Have a 500gb and another smaller harddrive in my old pc probley use them..il get 8gb of RAM too.. not sure about the graphics card yet might just wait awhile to get a good one=..thanks for the help

 

Im on intel core i7 6gb ram running 15 bots easy with no lag for browsing net or playing some low game. and i wouldnt suggest getting amd cpu, just saying

 

Intel i7 is really to expensive for me since i need to get a whole new pc now(just the case)
Anyone know if the graphics card effects botting or lag in any way??

 

If the PC is solely for botting, a dedicated graphics card won't be needed.

 

Not solely for botting, but wont be playing new high-end games..so i should be fine not buying a great one thanks..

 

What GPU will you be using? I know you said you won't be playing any new/high-end games, but if you're just gonna be using integrated graphics either on the new AMD APUs or the iGPU on the Sandy Bridge Intel CPUs it won't run any games on max settings really, even games that aren't very recent. I'd be pretty surprised if the APU (the stronger of the two) could even run a game like Fallout NV decently :x.

But yeah just get a decent mid ranged AMD processor (APU if you're not getting a discrete GPU), 8GB of RAM (2x4GB kits are like $50-$60 on NewEgg now, 4GB probably won't run 4-6 bots very smoothly either) and for botting the GPU honestly doesn't matter.

Also, GPUs that are within a decent budget and will serve you well (since you're not doing any hardcore gaming):
GTX 550 Ti
GTX 460
GTS 450

All of those can be bought within the $100-$150 range.

 

Currently only seen an AMD phenom 2 in my area, whats APU?.. and id prob only be playing games like Team fortress 2.. yeah seen 8gb's of RAM i can get.. thats great the GPU dosent matter but thanks for the GPUs, ill look into them probley end up getting a bad one to start with then hopefully upgrade. Thanks

 

An APU is just AMD's version of a processor with an iGPU built into it. They're discrete level graphics, much better than that of the Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000. Definitely not great or anything but it would probably be fine for TF2.

Tbh there's no point in buying a cheap GPU then splurging later on. You just wind up with subpar performance and wasting more money than needed :/ save up until you can afford a decent one imo.
