need a new pc/laptop

[codakismaximus]

okay i was looking at what you recommended but where i live it was $800, now that i think about it i would only want to play minecraft but have very good fps live streaming/recording on the best settings i am in a family rut right now too so try to keep the prices as low as you can

 

[realchaos]

What is your budget?
Do you need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse if it is a desktop?
Do you prefer performance and upgrade-ability or portability and convenience?

 

[codakismaximus]

my budget is about 600-800 dollars and no i do not need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse im thinking performance but i dont want it to over heat

 

[game junky]

yea, that can't be done for that price. You either have to set your expectations lower or increase your budget substantially. Think $1200 might even be a stretch

 

[game junky]

If you're willing to go with a desktop, that might be doable

 

[codakismaximus]

yea i am will to go to 1000 dollars but thats about it

This is overkill for minecraft, but it allows you to play other games if you choose to.

This is great for an under $1000 build! This can probably also play games on low-settings.

okay i was looking at what you recommanded but where i am it was 800$ and im thinking that this is way too over prices for minecraft if i want 70 fps while recording and streaming on best settings...my fam is in a rut too is is there anyway of getting something for 500$ so i can buy it haha

 

[realchaos]

Well...Where are you buying from...?
Also, that build isn't just for minecraft. I purposely made it overkill so you can play other games like bf3/bf4 as well.

 

[codakismaximus]

i will shop anyware and use anything i just want a new pc that will stream minecraft with max settings and have good fps

 

[realchaos]

Then how does computer total total up to $800? It should be in the ~$650 price range...
