Good computer specs?

What specs make a computer good to run 10+ bots and do something like surf the web?

Hard drive?
Processor speed?
Memory?

 

1tb 7.2k HDD($50-$60 IMO no point going smaller)
Something like a Phenom II 955, or i5 2500k.
8gigs of ram.

 

Well, for botting and surfing the web the main things you'll want to consider are your memory and your processor. For botting, a good graphics card isn't really necessary. Hard drive won't have too much of an effect, just get one like Noodles said.

8GB of RAM is so cheap now ($50) and it'll easily run the 10 bots. For processors, Noodles is on the money again. All comes down to your budget though, PII 955/965 would be for if you're kind of on a tight budget. 2500K costs almost double but it actually has better price to performance so it's worth it if you have the money just lying around. 2500K + 16GB RAM = massive bot farm .

 

Thanks again Ivy

 

What is a good computer monitor under $200?

Both look good, but wait for someone else to comment.

IPS and LED at a really good price. If you want something with a faster response time, I'd go with:

Personally, 21.5" is really small. I think my 23" is to small now.

I'd go with either I posted or the second of Ivy's.

 

It's not that small is it :S? How far away do you sit lol? It's more about resolution and clarity than screen size imo unless you're like 2 ft away from your monitor

 

It's pretty small for me. Hahah.
I sit about 1 and a half feet away. :s
I wanna get a u2711 or u3011 in the future sometime.

Honestly though I doubt the OP will care about IPS or anything so he'd be better off with like a LED or LCD 23/24"

 

IPS is just an extension of LCD technology, which can be combined with LED backlighting as well lol. IPS has the best viewing angles and contrast ratio, and generally speaking the clearest pictures

 

I know, but generally a lot of people wouldn't really care unless they've viewed an IPS and a TN monitor side by side.
