$600 Minecraft Gaming PC

[007agentHP]

Hello i am in the process of putting together a PC mainly for minecraft. i will not be recording, or using any intensive resource packs or mods. just shaders. i was building a machine that could at least get normal shaders (not ultra) to run at least at 40 FPS and here is what i made below. For your Information,i will only need a cpu, gpu motherboard, case, psu, ram and a optical drive. The Optical drive does not need to be good because the only thing im going to use it is to install the os. here is a link to what i have so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4NZkgs any changes to the better will be great Thank You!

This was the best I could do. I wasn't sure if you already had the monitor but I had to add in an OS. I made the RAM a LOT better than it was previous..
The thing is that you picked a 1333Mhz for 98 USD, and I found a 2133Mhz for less.. If you need me to make more changes, just ask.

Minecraft (vanilla) runs on CPU and RAM, and of you ever want to record it, Fraps does also run on CPU, so don't short on that.

- Minecraft works better on a single stronger Core (Intel)

- I have a GTX 650ti, and it runs medium shaders with standard rescource pack at ~50 fps.

- what is your budget ?

Here's a pretty nice build that runs games like bf4 smoothly at ultra 1080p so minecraft definetly ain't a problem
