Hey, I'm building a cheap botting pc to run 5 copies of wow (possibly more in the future), I've bought a cheap old pc from ebay with a P4 3Ghz cpu, I plan on upgrading the ram to about 2 gigs and buying a new video card (PCI-e).

What do you guys think is an appropriate video card? I was thinking a HD 4350 would do, what do you guys think?

Thanks.
 
Only 2GB Ram? That's kinda low since you're planning to run multiple instances of WoW. Go for 4GB atleast.
AMD/ATI 4xxx-series might do the trick if you're on a really tight budget. Imo I would go for one of the cheaper cards in the 5xxx-series or a cheap Nvidia GTX 460.

The HD5670 performs alot better and isn't that expensive, well, it costs a few bucks to double, but yeah, generally it's not a expensive card in comparison how it performs.
 
I hope you're not seriously going to use the P4 cpu ._.

Get at least a core2duo.
If you're going to add more accounts later on, then get a quad core!

And yea... putting a "good" botting rig together might cost ya a little more than you thought =p
 
buy a Club3d HD5550 with 64bit interface pay 40-50 bucks and run up to 10 wows on there

check my building a botting pc thread.. p4 is ass for multiple botting

I would go AMD and then overclock, simply because it's cheaper and really not that much difference. Unless you buy a intel with hyperthreading.
Dual: AMD Phenom II X2 560 3.3GHz Black Edition
Quad: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz Black Edition

Although Intel has a slight edge if you for example work with alot of video effects, rendering and such.

Can i get help with best os to bot on, programs as fast up computer ? more.. ?
 
you can go w/ the cheap video card (4350), but u gotta have 4GB+ ram or you're going to have major issues

And a cpu !
Just get a Quad AMD , they're cheaper than intel's and almost as good if not the same :)
 
well I ran 12 accts on a duo core 2.0 amd just fine (70% cpu) -- granted most were GB and not HB, as HB uses a lot more cpu power imo

wow kickass nice..

my standard pc is x2 5600+ and 2GB ram and barely can handle 3-4

My botting pc is i5 760, 4GB ram and a ATI HD 5550 and handles 6 without passing 45% cpu load
 
A cheap AMD quad core is like $100 or something and worth every penny. I upgraded from a core2duo/2gb ram to quad core/8gb and I have no idea how many bots I could run but more than I've tried while playing other games at the same time. core2duo/2gb would cap out at 4, but 2 were HB. granted that was mostly a ram issue, but CPU usage was uncomfortably high.

One thing you definetly need quite a bit of is memory. I'd recommend 6gb or more for 5 instances.
 
Ok guys I've read your suggestions and I think ill just trash the little PC I've got in favor of something with more grunt.

Heres what I've got my eye on:

Mobo - ASUS P5QPL-VM (socket 775)
CPU - Intel Pentium E6500 2.93Ghz
RAM - 4GB of DDR2 800
Video Card - Unsure, probably a HD 4650/70 or something

Sound good?
 
Kinda a bit off-topic, but I would love to see how many BoTs my PC can run XD

My botting computer has an Intel core duo E5200 processor, 4gigs of ram (kingston 800mhz) in dual chan configuration, win 7 pro 64bit, an ATI HD 3850 1gb ram and the motherboards is a FoxConn g33m02 pulled out from a Dell Vostro 400 (very crappy imo).
I manage to run 5 GB bots and 1 hb bot with about 80% cpu use (HB requires more cpu time).
I always use this computer remotely, through Tightvnc or Logmein (both require some cpu time aswell).

I bought the CPU+cooler, motherboard, video card, power supply and 2 gigs of ram (I added some more after a few weeks) for 170€ (ofcourse they all were used) about 2 months ago. Compared to market prices in Italy, it was a fair good price.

If you want to save money just buy an used computer. DON'T save on motherboard and power supply, here's my story:

After some weeks a capacitor into the power supply just exploded (power supply is crappy), and i had to replace it, and the fan was making a lot of noise and i had to replace it aswell. I wanted to add some ram,so i took two no-brand ram with elpida chips, but my (crappy) motherboard didn't like them, so I had to send them back and get a better brand (it costed me time, money and a lot of swears).

PS: I use this computer just to bot!
