What to look for when buying a PC purely for Botting?

[DarkParagon]

Hi guys, I am interested in buying a PC for botting. I will be botting no more than 5 accounts at a time, i have been reading through multiple threads today trying to help me decide what kind of parts to buy/ what parts to prioritize/ how to make it efficient and cheap. but as of now I don't have that many ideas of what specific parts to invest in and what will give me a better result for the price paid.

Also I have heard that Blizzard IP ban if you are caught botting on multiple accounts under the same Ip adress. Is that true? If i am running 5 bots at a time, is there much chance of that happening? should I consider investing in a VPS or not?

If you could give me some advice it would be much appreciated,thanks in advance

For me, priority is the following. Cpu > RAM > HardDrive > GPU
For 5 accounts, I would aim at at least an i3 or equivalent amd ( cheaper ) A8 , and at least 8 gb ram.

I'm botting with 5 now, and my CPU is a Pentium G3220 ( worst then an i3 ), so you don't need nothing fancy, i paid 50 bucks for that CPU. ( Although, its capped at DDR3-1333 which is a shame, but it does what it needs to do )

I'm running 5 bots with 4 gb ram atm.
an old i5 and the rest aint fancy either..

besides, i wouldn't buy a "pure botting pc" when you only run 5 bots, rather just spend a little extra money and get a PC that can run 15 bots, play all the games you wan't to play (also in the future)..

I could run around the 15-20 bots
CPU I have an I7 4core hyperthread (maybe 6+ core is better)
RAM I have 16G in there and that's enough for 15-20 bots
you don't need an SSD but I highly recommend it! of course you will need an HDD for sure but things will go so much faster so even when you CPU is around the 90% it will still be faster then an HDD

just a basic grapics card I just had a grapics card from asus from just 69 euro, because I don't need 250FPS for each client ...

nad I also really and really recommend to have a good cooling system! your PC is running long and needs to do many things on the same time so that's why I (don't judge me for this) recommend to not overclock your cpu

What kind of cooling do you have? fan or liquid?

I have an fan because it was cheaper ... I think, but the best is to go to an store that is just selling computers and who also got an good reputation

thanks for the comments, I have come to the realization that buying a computer just to bot 5 accounts isn't worth it. I will start botting on my current computer hopefully in the upcoming days. however I am still curious in regards to blizzard banning IP addresses and wether setting up a vps\*** will be worth considering.

5 bots with 4 gb ram? i'm assuming you're not using vmware? and all 5 bots on the same ip? isn't it dangerous?

forget about vps in general, most of them simply dont emulate 3g graphics. (and IF they do these ressources are shared with many others, plus you have to compensate the monthly charges as well)
i'd say go for a nice amount of ram and maybe a ssd to store wow on.

if you plan to virtualize your bot enviroment, go for even more ram.
