Hello Comrades.
I seek advice on a pc build intended for eve multiboxing cilents (at the most 6ish)
this would be my first pc build, before its all online ordered or store bought and I am not as computer savvy as most in this game so this is why I come to you for ideas.
I've done a little reading on multiboxing setups that others have had, and this is my idea. please give input if you see a major flaw in the plan:
: Intel-« CoreGäó i7-4790K 4.0 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150 : ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER ATX w / Intel GbLAN, 3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 1x M.2, 6x SATA 6Gb/s : G.SKILL 32GB (8GBx4) DDR3/1866MHz Dual Channel Memory : EVGA Superclocked NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 4GB GDDR3 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Dual Card, Non-SLI) : 240GB Intel 530 Series SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 540MB/s Read & 490MB/s Write + 2 TB Seagate Mechanical Harddrive for basic data
From my reading its very important to have enough ram and a good motherboard to facilitate the transfer of data between all parts, will this work with the dual video cards?
I am grateful for any input here since most of my pc knowledge comes from reading other people talk on forums
or if you multibox and could share your proven setup I would appreciate too :D |

Well the new 2011-3 socket has been released. But it's expensive. What sort of budget are you on and what website do you use? Don't run with a stick in your mouth.

I was trying to use that pcpartspicker website to find the best deals on price, I would like to keep this under 2000.00 USD |

For just eve, even multiboxing thats is super over kill.
Before i upgraded, which cost me a whopping $400 maybe 500 or so, my first generation i5 about 6 years old, with 4 gigs of ram, an ATI XT800 card which i thing had 512 DDR2, maybe 1GB DDR2 could play 4 accounts with no issues at all, 5 i started having some choking. But seriously if you drop eve to the lowest setting it uses barley anything.
My current 6 core AMD, with 16gb rand and a radio R9 plays 5 accounts with no problems OMG Comet Mining idea!!! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331766 |

Oh wow lol I didnt realize my setup idea was overkill, in the past on lower grade pcs ive bought ive noticed that I can easily box like 2-3 characters when I drop the settings low (doesn't bother me, I don't listen to the sound effects and perfect little explosion animations are not highly valued).
Thank you for your input and sharing your setup! |

They wont be able to run on max graphics. But it will be able to run all 5-6 accounts easily on low. Don't run with a stick in your mouth.

With that being said, do you think I could reduce myself down to one graphics card instead of two and still run ok on low? |

One of my 4 computers is a bare bones dual core G620 with 8GB ram and a okay video card Radeon HD 6670. I can put 6 clients on it with lower settings easily enough. Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

I don't know what 740s go for these days, but I'd say that you should probably go with a single 760 instead of dual 740s. It will cover your needs just fine and should you at some point in the future need more oomph, you can just add a second card and not have to throw out what you bought previously. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

The 740 is a major flaw. Go for a 760 and dial down the CPU a bit if you are on a budget, or just go AMD for the CPU as it's far better Price:Performance. Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch. |

I don't know Nvidia that well but the 740 is on the lower end. I would also recommend a 760. Don't run with a stick in your mouth.

This, in my experience, unless you doing heavy video editing or rendering, you will really not notice a huge difference between comparable AMD and Intel processors. OMG Comet Mining idea!!! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331766 |

GPU: GTX 550 Ti @ 950MHz Ram: Kingston 16 GB (8-0-8-0) 1600Mhz HDD: Quantum Fireball + Some other 750GB HDD i cannot recall. Screen(s): 1x 1600x900 Some random screen I bought a long ass time ago.
What it can run: 15 Accounts with all settings on low, with no lag issues. Your system will have ZERO problem running at least this many. Just keep in mind, Eve is single threaded. You want to assign each client to a single core if you stack all the clients into a single thread there will be system lag. My setup was 1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 Though [3][4][4][4] also works too.
Eve has two bottle necks. Ram, and CPU threads. Ram is 1gb per client for things to run smoothly, and requires 1 core per client. Eve does NOT Hyper-thread. |

I purchased a new PC earlier this year, including 32GB RAM. Not until I got it up and working did I realize only 16GB RAM will be used by Windows 7 unless you buy one of the more expensive "editions," maybe pro or something? The regular one is not using half my RAM, which made me feel pretty stupid.
I run 5 Eve clients, one on max settings and the others turned down a bit, with no problems; even though only 16GB RAM "works." My video card is nvidia GTX 780.
Enjoy your build. o7 |

A i5 4590 would be more then enough. You'll need 16GB of RAM. (Each client on my PC uses about 7-750MB) If settings are on high with multiple monitors, the best GPU you can get your hands on!
Here's a rundown of CPUs i3 - typical home/office use. i5 - gaming i7 - video editing/rendering/heavy use applications. AMD - poor mans CPU....****** EVE needs more Pssshhhh |

4-core i5 or preferrably 4-core/8-thread i7 AMD graphics card (R9 series maybe) due to better multitasking 16 gigs of ram SSD big neough for the clients, 256gig should be good enough and be below $200. Make sure it's a MLC drive, not TLC. Proper power supply, preferrably Seasonic or Corsair A/H/T series.
You're looking at about $1200 in total for those, then grab a few 1080p monitors from Benq, roughly $139 each. Spend rest on a hard drive, Schiit magni+modi and proper headphones (not gaming).
Ha, $1183 before monitors and other peripherals: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QxXTZL
Adjust retailers to your preferred, especially if you need it built for you. Choose case based on looks. This setup will be extremely good for years to come. |

Thanks for help!
You all helped in opening my eyes to different things :)
I ended up going a bit higher than needed setup, which will also help me in playing other games than eve (THERES OTHER GAMES THAN EVE?)

My system:
Gigabyte mobo that a friend upgraded out of, not sure of the specs AMD 3.0Ghz quad core proc 8 GB (2x4GB) RAM Nvidia 640 GT 4GB video piped to a single 30" 2560x1600 monitor 60GB SSD OS drive. 320GB WD Caviar green storage drive Naturally cooled in a steel antec tower I've been recycling since 2002.
This setup, minus monitor, cost me less than US$500. It runs 5 clients on low graphics and one client on medium graphics with no system lag. Then again, I'm seriously restrictive on what processes get to run and when they run, yay hidden system administrator tools. Disclaimer: My opinion does not necessarily reflect that of my corp or alliance. My opinion is my own, and if you don't like, that is your problem. |

I am sorry to do this but you said 'good components' and you post an Asus board.
Use a Gigabyte instead, seriously!
The support from Asus is bad. Gigabyte has much better support and I haz connections to Taipeh directly .
You also posted some G-somewhat RAMs and I would go Kingston HyperX instead, those even like overclocking with life long warranty!
Harddrives I would prefer Seagate but they don't have SSD drives as far as I know.
If you want a good SSD, do not use Samsung, use Intel / Kingston and maybe OCZ.
Also keep in mind that you will need an appropiate power supply. This I cannot stress enough. It is one of the most important components of your rig.
And if you have somewhere at the range of 60$ US, go by and APC surge protector, for lightning protection. You won't be sorry. signature |

is the evga 1000w not a good power supply? I tried to do some readings on reviews and such and it seemed to do well. the reason i went with the samsung is also due to good reviews from multiple websites so i was willing to give it a shot. ill look into those kingston rams, that life long warrenty is good. I know asus does not have best support, but out of all the computer products ive used asus is the one brand that hasnt given me a failure yet so im going to try and stick with it. and I already have that surge apc protector, its a good investment :)) |
