PC Build: Can this play Minecraft Good?
I'm thinking about building this PC. I only want to play Minecraft and TF2 (simple lower-res games) I was wondering if this would be any better than my current laptop and could it play minecraft on Max or High settings?

Don't use Minecraft as a benchmark. Use something like BF2 as that takes a lot of power. Minecraft and PC is suitable to play.

Well, almost any computer can run minecraft, seeing that it doesn't hog down ram, doesn't require the best processor, and doesn't need an insane graphics card. I would say that computer could run minecraft pretty smoothly, and possibly some other games.
