Help Complete Build for Multi Boxing Diablo 3

So basically I am not a huge computer buff, I made the mistake of thinking my Laptop could multi box effectively. But it most defiantly cannot, so I am looking to build a computer that can multi box very effectively (3-4 windows) and I have around $1k-1.5K to spend. I would really like the lower side of this with the opportunity to add upgrades in the future.

I am here to ask for your input on the build I should use, I know little about computer parts and do not want to waste money. I already have mouse/ keyboard/ monitors.


I posted on Cyber Power and a Senior gave me this build, does it look effective?

Just did a quick test using only 4 cores of my CPU (4930K) and a single 780 Ti.

I didn't want to abandon my progression in story mode, so I wasn't able to jump into any massive fights in Pandemonium where there can be a lot of stress on hardware, but there were a few spikes up to 75%-ish on the CPU, and the GPU was at about 60% running four game clients at a resolution of 1920x1080 using the highest video settings @ 60/30 FPS.

So, I'd imagine that the system you've been quoted can handle at least 3 clients of the game smoothly, but pushing 4 and you might be seeing some stuttering in the big fights. Again, this was just a quick test and my hardware isn't a direct comparison -- Maybe someone with a 4-core Intel and/or a 280X (or maybe a GTX 770 which is equivalent) can chime in with the performance they get while playing to give you a better idea.

Thanks for the input Mi, 3 clients will actually be fine with me. Right now my current computer can not even run 2 windows effectively, so anything would be a upgrade I just want to make sure I am going the right route.
