Hi, I'm need a good pc for minecraft and minecraft only. So hard to get a answer on YouTube because everyone says somthing difrent. I mostly want to get a prebuild for 900 to 1k but everyone says somthing difrent and I dont wana make a bad move. If anyone could point me on the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

4 core CPU with only 3.9GHz Boost Clock,
7 year old very low end GPU,
only 8GB of unspecified RAM.

could be worth ~$700 with a very nice case, reliable power supply, and nice motherboard.
none of these are mentioned.
but it will still not get good performance with any modern games if this is the intended use.

If you're buying everything on this list, make sure:
  1. Contact the seller to update the bios to the latest (its a must, for the processor support)
  2. When you're building the PC, make sure the ram is on slot 2 and 4. and go into bios before you install windows, select XMP Profile 1 in corner left, then Save and Exit (F10)
  3. 3.Don't use stock thermal paste from gammaxx 400s, instead use Gelid GC Extreme for thermal paste for Gammaxx 400S.
  4. 4.Install windows, then amd chipset driver, then amd radeon driver
  5. you're good to go on installing any games you want

Could do worse. However, not sure about the power supply they use. The other thing is they use an a320 motherboard. Which is ok I suppose, you just won’t probably be upgrading the cpu without replacing the board later, and you won’t be able to overclock, at least much. But on the other hand, for your first pc, you don’t need to bother with overclocking.

If you get it, I’d recommend to upgrade it to 16gb ram, and maybe replace the power supply eventually.

The other thing I’m not a fan of is the case they use. It looks nice, but even though they put 3 fans in the front of the case, The front of the case looks like there wouldn’t be a lot of fresh air being pulled in. The other thing, you’d probably want to upgrade to 16gb of ram.

it’s probably an ok pc but I might consider passing.

I dunno, looked at so many prebuilds and so much pcs.. this just seems like the best option right now. Everything these days has horrific parts to value. Such a tricky thing. I guess everything can't be perfect. If it preforms well I don't think I would need to upgrade it 2 much.

Yeah as I started looking you are right. I was editing when you replied. But if you get that system, I’d try to upgrade to 16gb of ram and later on, certainly before upgrading the video card, I’d recommend to replace the power supply. Also keep an eye on temperatures on the components. May not be a bad idea to see if you can add more fans. Looking again though that does appear to have a mesh front. So that’s good. A lot of times those cases have a plastic or glass front that impedes air flow.

I suppose for the money go for it, but as I said, I’d recommend upgrading to 16gb. A dual channel kit would probably run 60-70 dollars, and later on replace the power supply, especially when you’d get ready to upgrade the video card.
