To whom it may concern:

I am looking for a desktop for my son. He wants to play minecrat.

system requirements:


Minimum Requirements:
CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz
RAM: 2GB
GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1
GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1
HDD: At least 200MB for Game Core and Other Files
Java 6 Release 45

Recommended Requirements:
CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz
RAM: 4GB
GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3
HDD: 1GB
Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

I do not know what type of desktop to buy I have a budget of 550-600. I would like to get something easy to upgrade GPU because my son may want to play more demanding games in the future. What are the best CPU's and GPU's to look for in a desktop capable of such games?

Thanks in advance

Do you plan on buying a prebuilt PC?
most computers can run minecraft it just depends on what kind of settings he would want to play at
