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. 🙂
 
Solution
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.
There are definitely parts shortages. The graphics card in there normally should cost no more than about 150. On eBay for example, a used gtx 1650 is going for almost 300. To give you an idea, if supplies and prices were normal, you’d probably be getting that with an rtx 3060 for that price, since msrp on the 3060 is $330 I think. Now you’re doing good to get that rtx 3060 for 600 by itself.
