Hello Tom's Hardware,
I googled for some answers but couldn't find one that pleased me enough. I basically need to find the best performing CPU with the best performance-price ratio that will support heavy Multi-botting in games (such as World of Warcraft). I know the game "doesn't" allow it, but that's not the kind of judgment I'm looking for.
My budget goes up to $250 tops even though I would prefer something below $200.
Current specs and Info:
I currently have a 3GB Sapphire Radeon 7950 HD ATI video card which works nicely. A 3.3 GHz AMD FX-6100 which is kinda crappy. I have good air flow, heatsinks, etc. My CPU runs at 35Cº Idle and 52Cº at full 100% load. Also 16GB of RAM. Solid State Drive. 1000W Thermaltake PSU.
Currently I'm running 7 bots, they fluctuate between 60 and 70% CPU load. The problem shows up when I start gaming on top of the bots, it's too much load for the CPU and GPU. (Mostly the CPU, I have yet to see the GPU reach 100% load)
Multi botting means there will be 1 instance of the game + 1 instance of the bot open at the same time, working concurrently. Basically I want to run as many bots as possible without hitting 90% load. On this FX-6100 they use up about 6-10% of the CPU depending on what they are doing.
So, what do you think is the best CPU that will serve this purpose? Any other additions? Remember, looking for the best performance-price ratio.
Note: It doesn't have to be AMD CPU, I could also use an Intel CPU since I was planning on replacing my Motherboard.
Note 2: Overclocking doesn't work for me, I get too many system failures when I try to overclock my CPU. I'm almost sure it's my Motherboard's fault so I might have to consider replacing it.
Thank you in advance and sorry for the long read <3
