$250 Minecraft Computer Build

[Phantom18]

I want to play Minecraft on a better computer since my old one is starting to slow down and decided to build one instead. My budget is about $250, any recommendations on what parts to use? The build needs to include everything including windows. I don't mind using Windows 7,I would go for Windows 7 Home Basic though.

Thanks in advance.

I really don't think you can do much with 250, $500 is about the min for a decent PC these days, I mean really, windows 7 home is about $100 leaving you with only 150 left with nothing but an operating system, sorry mate, save up a bit more and ask again 🙁

looks slim, but you could look into getting a apu?

I've looked more into it, I found a windows license for about $20, you might think its crazy but it's true.

Would this build work? You need to add a Gigabyte PowerRock 420w to it because I couldn't find it there.🙁
I know it's over my budget but i'm willing to fork out a little more money.
