Hi, I'm looking for a botting build that could run several vmware as much as it could. My current build is only capable of running 1 bot, it couldn't handle more gaming window as running Vmware itself consumes almost 100% of cpu and rams. I have been using this build for almost 7 years with my other 2 laptops and now I think it's time to build a new one.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I've heard a lot of guys in this forum talking about AMD that it's better than intel at multitasking as it has more cores and threads. But what about this Intel cpu?

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-5960X-vs-AMD-FX-9...

The stats seem to be better, more threads, more L3 Caches, less energy consumption, less temperature so I don't end up living under a bridge after running AMD 24/7 all year round.

A random guy from the internet just recommended me with this 5960X build.

Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition 3.50 GHz 8 Cores/16 Threads
ASUS X99-DELUXE USB 3.1
Leadtek GTX980 Ti REF
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 32GRK 3000(8GBx4) x2 64GB
Samsung 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB
Seagate 2TB sata3
SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 750W (May be SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1000W?)

This would cost me about 3,000 bucks in my country. I really want to know if it's worth it if I buy it at this moment or should I wait for few months for intel Cannonlake instead(I don't know if it's going to be more expensive than 5960x though)? Or maybe should I split into 2 or 3 PCs with AMD build (UPs and led monitors are excluded) mainly for botting?

What's the best option for me right now?
 
Solution
If you are going to be using this for running games in several virtual machines and you want the max you can get going and still be able to run, a $3,000 system is not too crazy to get.
