Recommend me configuration for my new Desktop PC

Hi guys, looking to buy new desktop PC, i would appreciate if some of you guys can recommend me configuration ...

I already have speakers, UPS, monitor etc, I am looking for CPU configuration help....

I use following SEO softwares...

Market Samurai, Magic Submitter, Best Spinner & Scrapebox

Budget is around 35k INR ($700 approx)

As a mac user I won't give you any advice regarding your PC config, but I'd recommend you get a VPS for SEO tools (from your list: magic submitter and scrapebox) that easily eat up CPU/RAM, get better performances with very high speed connections and need to run for long time periods.

How much is cost to rent out an VPS?

From 10-15$ /month as i know

well, I think you won't require high spec, since you are not running photoshops etc so a basic pc will do the job, ideally anything over i3 and 6GB Ram will work like a charm.

yes he does not even need 6GB ram I say even 4GB is good.

Im loving my 8gb ram. Try running 2-3 vmwares with 4gb ram

As Zak_A said, if you want to buy the PC for the SEO tools then I will suggest you go for a VPS.

The prices can start from $15 to $35 for a 4 core CPU, 4 GB RAM, and most important 1GB/s connection.

No matter how good is your desktop configuration a VPS will work better.

With a VPS you will get:

1) A faster connection... much faster since I'm sure your home connection will not get near to the 1GB/s vps connection.
2) You can run your softwares 24/7
3) You can connect to it from everywhere
4) The electricity bill will decrease. Is one thing to run your PC 24/7 and have one somewhere that run 24/7
5) The sistem will be much faster since no matter we are talking about a virtual machine that is set-up on a hardware dedicated for this kind of tasks.

I'm currently using altinsoft[dot]net as a VPS provider.

Bermanhosting 2gb VPS for about $16, I get great use out of mine.

Home PC, I love windows XP (I know it inside out and every tool runs smoothly on it, it might not be sexy looking but never lets me down )

Get plenty of ram on your home PC, and try get a decent graphics card so you have the option of using things like photoshop.

1) Fiber link internet connection 100MB at least
2) Quad core cpu intel i5
3) Much ram (at least 4gb)
4) A good motherboard, average GPU
5) SSD drive for OS, HDD for the rest

That should be most of it assuming you already got a big monitor.

I wish I could buy a 100mb fiber connection haha

I have one at home (western europe) but what's silly is that wifi is limited to 54mb. So I can only actually have 100mb bandwidth if I plug the computer.

It's not often that useful though, when you got that kind of speed it doesn't make much difference to have 54 or 100 - unless when you are downloading some big files. The only interesting use of it actually is when you're not alone at home, you can have like two computers + a ps3 online game running at the same time and everything runs fast and smooth

If you have fast enough internet I'd suggest building one pc for running nothing but VMs with your tools and another for surfing, work etc. Sure you can rent VPSs but if you already have good internet the "VM PC" will pay for itself in a year or so. This way you don't have to worry about having your VPS go down and your sitting there helpless because it's god knows how far away. Plus you can run more tools 24/7 on even a cheap home built system then you can most VPSs, at least the one's I have found.

I would suggest CPU wise go with a intel i7 or if your cheap like me go AMD. Think of cpu cores like an old P4 machine, so if you get an AMD cpu with 6 cores you can run 6 VMs easily and normally more as long as you have the RAM to support them. My 4 core amd system has ran up to 7 VMs at one time and not had a problem, granted some weren't very cpu intensive but you get the point.

The other thing to think about is cooling. My suggestion there is get a sealed cpu water cooler from corsair or one of the other companies that make them. My temps went from 60c at 80% cpu usage to a max of 34c running prime95 for an hour and it's super quiet compared to most air coolers.

Really the VPS vs own PC debate comes down to personal preference IF you have the internet speed your tools need already. Sometimes no matter what your better off going the VPS or dedi route due to internet speed requirements.

Btw whoever said a benefit to VPS was you can run 24/7 so can PCs at home. My VM machine normally runs for a month or 2 at a time before I restart it.

I'm sure you will not be able to get this on a home connection:



And this is in a period when the network have a peak load...

No mater you got a 100Mb/s fiberlink connection you will not be able to get near that.

But if you can afford a 1Gb/s connection then you should go for it.

I just had a new PC built a couple of weeks ago.

Not all of us NEED that kinda speed. I know I don't. But if you read my whole post you would see I said "Sometimes no matter what your better off going the VPS or dedi route due to internet speed requirements." Some of us would rather use what we already pay for instead of having one more monthly bill. Plus idk about everyone else but I'd much rather work on a PC that's in front of me then remote access one.

You said you want to use it for SEO tools

And if we are talking about SEO tools then better internet speed mean better accuracy and speed and of course better results.

When I bought my first tool (ScrapeBox) I was running it on my local machine and I start to make testes and notice that I need more resources so I get to a VPS, get some proxy, then move to a better VPS and I even got to build my own proxy server... And if look back now I will say that at the beginning I was playing with the software not actually working with it.

If you want to get 100% of a tool you must run some tests before you use it. If the tool is working and not giving any errors then this doesn't mean that everything is ok.

Let me give you an example.... You got SB and 30 private proxy from squid proxy (they have a limitation of 10 connection/server), and run SB with 100 connection.... well every thing will look normal and you will not get any errors but your success rate will be very low since 60-70% of your connection are killed by the proxy server. At a first look you got a great configuration and you will consider that the success rate is normal... but isn't it.. If you will take the same list and run it with 30 private proxy from a provider that allow 100 connection per server you will see the difference.

About the remote access.... Man we are in 2013... if you do not try to keep up and always try to get the best then you will be out of this business.

P.S. To make money you need to invest.. this is a lesson that I learned on my skin. You will never have the chance to make millions with home PC's

You stick with comment spamming blogs and I'll stick to making real money with my home pcs. Not everyone runs the same tools and needs 1gb/s internet speed to make good money.

P.S. I've been in this business in one form or another for 10 years so I think I know alittle about what I'm doing.

Ok....

An i3 with a decent 4gb RAM stick would do good

But IMO you should rent a VPS for SEO related tasts.
