Can you build me an $260 minecraft pc?

Solution
APUs under 60$ dont have good IGPU anymore, so i would get my first build with Intel g3258.

@MrASSASSINo4ever i disagree, if he plays games like Minecraft he doesnt need any better CPU because these games only use 2 cores, and g3258 destroys fx-6300 in single core perfromance, abd better GPU would be a nice bonus if he decide to play more demanding games. And if he gets fx-6300 he can only get GPU that are weaker than APU IGPUs


i will be using it for minecraft once or twice a week for about a two/three hours overall a week and i will also use it everyday for my homework and revision using the internet.

plus should i have a graphics card or not?

Yes you can

@NubUser

Your build is missing a PSU, and also APUs need to run in dual channel, perfromance will drop alot if you run single channel and in my opinion you need 8gb of ram for APU they struggle with 4gb. And why such an old APU which has IGPU weaker than 40$ GPU (r7 240)

If he cant get over budget he is better of with APU like AMD A10-7700K or AMD A8-7650K

 


by buying an AMD A10-7700K or AMD A8-7650K should these cpus perform better then the parts listed above? i am able to buy an cpu for $70 and also buy a MSI GeForce GTX 750 1GB Video Card, so can you advise the best cpu for $70 or belower.

Many Thanks
