I wanted to make a gaming pc and a question is why is the Nvidia GT 630 4gb so cheap?

Thanks for the tips!
as stated above: older memory older cpu
overall its just a different(outdated) generation of gpu's
try the gtx650ti if you want a cheap gaming card
but the godlen rule for gaming is:
get the best gpu you can find and get the cpu with the leftover money

I was just curuois (?) Why this one was cheaper than a GTX 670 while it had more memory
The GTX 670 is a very high end gaming gpu, while the GT 630 is a much much lower end gpu
This is because the memory used is DDR3- which is slow and outdated. So slow and outdated that 512MB of GDDR5 memory works twice as well as 1GB DDR3. Even so, with an 810Mhz clock and 4GB memory for £56 new (Amazon), it's still an impressive deal.
However, you don't need this much for Minecraft- seriously, about 768MB-1GB of DDR3 graphics would do you fine with a dual core/quad core around 2-3GHz.

Why on earth do you need a 4GB graphics card...?
I don't know the specifications for that card, but if it's cheaper than cards with less memory, it must be because the processor in it is crap. You could go out and get a 10GB graphics card and it might not be as good as one with less memory, but a better processor.
