Hello there people of the planet of minecraft! It has been a while! I, Having a mac from 2007 that will probably not be so good in a few more years am looking to build a new computer but will use a PC now instead of a macbook. Just one problemo. Well.. More than one.

Problemo#1 I have no idea how to build a PC

Problemo#2 I don't know what parts i need/want

Soooo.... I came here for help! I believe some of you may know what i need and how to do it..

Here are the things that i require this future pc to be able to do:

Record all kinds of games and keep a good fps (i may start youtubing again)
Be able to use blender or mineimator
Be able to run (With pretty good FPS) lots of games (minecraft, GTA, CoD, Halo, Goat simulator, gmod, ect)
Have a fairly good memory system

Please tell me what my parts my computer needs!

~Thanking you Kindly,
Ethan

You should get an SSD for minecraft, it will load faster.

Nope. For that budget a SSD isn't recommended. A SSD is recommended for builds that are $750 and more.

You already have a Windows cd/key?

And I thought you already had a monitor?

This is without a Windows CD/key. If you want that, you're gonna have to add another $100. If you can get the key at /r/softwareswap, then it'll only be about 10 dollars.


Now, if you wanted to run OSX on it, and make it a hackintosh, use this.

What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi


If you could answer these, that'd be great.

Here is a good guide that a lot of people like. If you want to see more, look up "carey holzman" and watch a few of his videos, he goes really indepth and explains it quite well.

Glad you want to build though, it's really fun, and really rewarding.
