What would be the dream multi-botting workstation?

Pretty much the title. Thinking about saving up for a new computer to run more bots and would like to hear what you guys think the best options are.

Some specific things I was thinking about:
More cores or faster cores? (I'm pretty sure more would be better for running more instances of WoW, right?)
1 CPU or 2 CPUs? (Would 2 be complete overkill or would i be able to substantially increase the amount of bots able to run?)
SLI or no SLI?

Edit : while keeping it somewhat reasonable of a price, lets say less than $5000. (no $8k cpus)

Well, it depends. With 5-10 accounts, I GUESS a computer under $1500 can definetly done it without problem.
 
I recently bought a used workstation for £700. 2cpu with 6cores each, 48gb ram. It can run about 30-40bots depending how well you allocate resources

How can you allocate resources other than set your WoW to the lowest possible resolution and set all graphic settings to the lowest possible?
I'm running an i7-4790 stock, with 16GB RAM and a GTX 980Ti. At most I've ran 10 WoW's, all on the same OS, no virtualization whatsoever, but 10 was really the max, the CPU load seemed to be the bottleneck as it was constantly running 90% +. Ram was about 80% used.

Edit: Oh and Windows, HB and wow are all running from a 500GB SSD.
 
By allocating resources i mean by doing or not doing VM. If you do VM you cannot run as many as without. Unfortunately there is not much you can do other than set everything to low. My laptop had an I7 and 8gb of ram and could only run 8max but things get really choppy and slow running 8. With my workstation I run 3 virtual os with 5bots each and 10 on the normal OS. I guess i could do 10-15 more without the VM.
 
go to pc part picker.com its where i build mine they give you prices and there histories.
 
i hope you've done the math and found out if you are going to make a profit from all of this, remember time taken, electricity, chance of ban, hardware bans? you know, but yeah im sure you figured this out already
 
i started with 2 vms and 1 bot per vm. now i got a 3. vm running 2 instances at the same time.
i'm running on 35-50% by using 2cores for all vm's and on 25-45% by using only one core for the vm's with one bot. Processor is an I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz and the graphics card a Radeon R9 290X.
it's my personal computer so i still play games besides the vm's running and work with the pc.
i don't know if you have problems with it but in my case on the vm's battle.net launcher is deactivated for startup because it will consume to much cpu power for the first minutes.

Could easily triple the amount of bots if I shut down other things that I have running.

Yea, I'm currently a suicide botter with about 16 accounts going at any time 24/7 across 2 computers so I'm fully prepared for bans. Electricity isnt really even a huge cost factor for me (only $0.05 per kWh). Both computers combined are ~1kW.

On my ~500-600€ Botting PC (Xeon 1230v2, 16GB Ram, GTX 460) i can run 11-15 Accounts ;-)

On my Main PC (5820k, 64GB Ram, GTX 1070) i never Tested it ^^

Well, one thing is for sure, the more cpu and ram you have the more bots you can run. Gpu is not that important imho as i only have a 1gb and can still run 30bots:)
To the OP : double cpu is definitely worth it. With 30bots open, my cpu usage is about 80% and Ram usage is about 65% out of 64gb. I could tweak it a little bit more to run 5-10 more but 30bots is just enough for me, maybe a bit too many sometimes but i like pushing the limits.

Thanks for letting me know. That was the main thing I was trying to figure out. I can currently run up to 15 bots on my main computer (i7-4820k OCed to ~4GHz, quad core). It seems that the main consensus from this forum post is more cores = more bots with the CPU being the main bottleneck and not the GPU or RAM (obviously you still need enough RAM).

What CPU(s) do you have in that rig?
 
Could anyone give me an estimate as to how many WoWs+HBs I could run with a system that has 2x Intel Xeon E5620 (Quad Core @ 2,4GHz-2,666GHz) and 24GB or RAM? Would I be thinking of 5-10, or 15-25, or what?

probably about 15-20, but i guess you will have some extra memory slots to fill in with extra RAM if you want more bots to run.
