I haven't clicked on the PAY button yet, so tell me what you think. After rebates it will be about $625 and I get a game to give as a Christmas present + $20 newegg giftcard for future upgrades.
I will be running 9 bots, but may push higher if the system will handle it. I just want to get them off my personal/work computers.

I'm not seeing RAM or Motherboard. Do you already have these?
 
The 3570k is priced including a combo motherboard.
I see the RAM was removed--its now out of stock. The faster stuff is actually cheaper, but Ive always had real good luck with Ripjaws and may go that route anyways.

G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) $55
or
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) $60
 
combo mobo..... without knowing what product i would not reccomend such a bundle. a bad mobo can be a pain in the ass, especially if you use the k series, prepared for oc a shitty mobo can limit your possibilities.
 
I also second if you're going to OC to buy a quality MOBO, imo its the most important step.

Edit: I also don't know how far the 3570k can be pushed, but I run 4 bots, play 1 account, with firefox/steam open my CPU is 50%-60% usage. Thats with innerspace and using tiny screens that surround my 1 larger screen that I play on.

Editx2: My 3570k is @ 4.3mhz

Need more CPU for 9. Also agree trash mobo and get a good one your gonna need a good oc to get close to 9 and I'd say you'll want to add a water cooler so u can achieve said oc stable. Buddy had same chip, ASus saber tooth mobo and oc to 4.5 and he's maxed at 7.

Ive used raidmax with success before, and its bronze certified--bad experiences? I got an OCZ that I love, but was hoping to go less expensive for this one.

I dont plan on using the software to OC with the motherboard and dont want to go crazy...was thinking about 4.2ish, but Im open to suggestions on that as well.

Is watercooling really needed?

Dont buy cheap psu, if u havent the good protection and the power in the rails, your components will die or burn!

Your money, you decide, but really suggest to change the psu!!
