Welcome!

More modern TN panels do look better, however after my experience with one, I don't think I can make that trade again. I went from IPS to TN and returned the TN panel the day I saw it. My only concern is CPU cooler clearance with the RAM, the heatspreader on it looks as though the center is...

Other than the previous issues I mentioned, I see no other potential problems. Well it depends on what you play, but generally speaking I would say no, any R9 200 series is not going to be powerful enough to drive a 4k panel at decent graphics quality settings. Also idk if you're as picky as...

I don't really see the point of switching motherboards unless you're going to be overclocking. As for the SSD change and HDD removal, that's up to you, depends what you feel is necessary for your storage needs. I personally like at least 500gb to boot off and several terabytes for storage. And...

Quite funny, I've always been more of a fan of AMD's CPUs than their GPUs. After having had looked at the link, that particular GPU isn't in stock apparently. And unfortunately there's no other offers that compete with it price/performance wise, meaning the only other choice is a downgrade...

I was actually going by the assumption you would be purchasing the Z170 in the link you provided, in which case no sound card is necessary. I always forget how ridiculous the prices are in new zealand. Pick Parts, Build Your PC, Compare and Share - PCPartPicker New Zealand Changes: RAM: Changes...

I see no reason as to why you couldn't have a mild overclock on the CPU, it's more dependent upon the silicon lottery if anything, it may want a ridiculous amount of volts for a marginal OC. Using the iGPU will add a couple more watts of power consumption to the CPU but I doubt it would mean too...

The PSU in question is a 0db model so going overkill is the best bet for silence. A 1070 system would pull ~370w under full load. A 1060 system would pull ~340w under full load. This is important when you consider how a PSU is rated, their peak efficiency is roughly 50% of their max output...

Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core, Define S ATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker If you'd like the system to be more capable in terms of gaming you could add either of these: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Dual Video Card (DUAL-GTX1060-O3G) - PCPartPicker Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series...

People have tried it, the problem is getting the client to run at an even remotely playable rate. God forbid you add more overhead with a bot.

Windows will handle the load distribution so that's not a problem. Xeon E5-2640 V4 2.4GHz 10-Core - System Build - PCPartPicker Didn't list a PSU because it depends on if you use a normal case or a server rack, you also would want 2 Hyper 212 EVO coolers. That is a 20 core system with 40 threads...

I can't say exactly why botting is as demanding as it is now, but it's certainly harder to run bots now. I remember a guy who had an i7 920 (a very old Extreme i7) who could run 55 bots on his system. The thing about botting computers now is that it's best to go a cost-efficient route, if money...

The only redeeming factor RS3 has over OSRS is that it can utilize more than one core, but even then you will need to mess with the game client a lot to get it working which will be a real pain. Just had a quick look at some tests pertaining to the capability of a Raspberry Pi's OpenGL...

My first concern with this is that a cluster of Pi's doesn't run like a multicore CPU, instead each Pi is running within separate environments from eachother. That is a problem in itself as OSRS isn't capable of using more than one core (to my knowledge), and a single Raspberry Pi can't run OSRS...

Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 8GB STRIX, Define S ATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker Didn't quite come as close to $2500, but the only way to achieve that is start being stupid and wasting the money tbh. The 1080 is a monster of a card and the same can be said for the...

By all means I'm not trying to argue.

Then I can only assume you installed your waterblocks incorrectly, for both cards to fry and that not be the cause, you'd have to be the unluckiest person I've met. And I'm failing to see the relevance of "a single card is better than two for high resolutions", the load on two cards is less than...

I'm going to assume that's not a photo of your old 780 Ti's because I see neither a second card nor an SLI bridge, so that photo doesn't mean anything, that's just an external 480 rad and reservoir with what I believe to be NB E-Loops? Two high end GPU's will get hot and I can almost guarantee...

Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Superclocked Gaming ACX 3.0, Define S ATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker Tbh I see no reason for you to change RAM or your storage solution (unless you're running out of storage). That case is also a personal recommendation as you can...

I don't recall implying he wanted a botfarm, the point being he's wasting money on components he won't need. For example, you listed a GTX 960 for his build despite him claiming he won't be gaming on the system, even if he does run more than one monitor, there's nothing wrong with the Intel HD...

That's not really the case, that website is specifically catered to gaming which is a terrible recommendation for one who is never going to game on that system. Coma on PB liked to preach that website and for the most part that's never applicable to botters. I say this because my thought...
