I need a new PC and don't have much experience.

I basically want a PC that can run minecraft at 150 fps minimum at all times on MCSG while I have spahxPureBD craft 512x512 on, Zeus shaders ultra, and 32 render distance. Price is not an issue here, although I try and find one for under 1000$. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Also, It'd be great if you could find one under 500.

150FPS? Most monitors only run at 60Hz, meaning 60FPS. So ease off on the FPS requests. But in any case, check out my build (about $800) here: http://www.game-debate.com/gaming-pc/in ... n&ram=12GB
I haven't tested it with the texturepacks and shader mods you want, but it can run Planetside2 at 60FPS on Ultra, so that's definitely saying something.

If you manage to get your 150 fps, please let us know what your specs are!
this is what i'm getting with the SEUS 10.1 Ultra DOF shader with the render distance set to 16 (singleplayer)

As others have said, it is most definitely a better idea to build a PC rather than to buy one that is pre-built. This is because most companies, especially around the $500 price range, won't include a discrete graphics card with your system - that means that none of what your goals are will be accomplished, as the integrated graphics in most Intel CPUs is pretty weak, and the integrated graphics in an AMD APU won't cut it either.
For about $500 without an operating system, you can probably get at least 60 frames per second with shaders and a high-resolution texture pack. I don't know about 512x512, but I would expect so. I have a fairly mid-range graphics card and it gives me a good 500 frames per second with a 512x512 texture pack on, but I'm not running shaders.
Something like the build below should do the trick - it packs Intel's great single-thread performance (which is very handy for Minecraft) and a graphics card that is a little step up from my own (I have the r9 270) and comes in at just under $500. Of course, your operating system will have to be separately and so that will be between $90 and $100.

Under $500, ain't gonna happen.
What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
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
