Ok, so my old laptop died, and this time around I'm going for a cheap, light use computer. I got on pcpartpicker.com and came up with this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3zGcA. It's a bit over budget, so I was wondering if any of you could help me make the build a bit cheaper. Thanks a bunch!

You're going to want to go up to about 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 budget if you want to run Minecraft at about 60 fps, this isn't even close to what you're going to want.

I want to be able to run Space Invaders with a decent framerate on medium settings, maybe while listening to some CDs.

WillyWonka125Ok, so my old laptop died, and this time around I'm going for a cheap, light use computer. I got on pcpartpicker.com and came up with this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3zGcA. It's a bit over budget, so I was wondering if any of you could help me make the build a bit cheaper. Thanks a bunch!

So, this is "cheap?" dude.... I have a great computer that runs minecraft with no lag whatsoever for 1/100th of the price!

What are you talking about, this is half the price of modern computers these days, what kind of pc do you own?! This guy can only just run Minesweeper at max graphics, even then. only at 20FPS.
