So how well can these pcs run minecraft with shaders?
All good suggestions, will look over them all.
57r4dWhy don't you guys use the barely more expensive 280x? Also Toad, you need to take off that slower, more expensive RAM.
Trying to stay on budget. The 760 is also a good performing card.

Woops, my bad, overlooked the cheaper one. Also, I think I may change my corsair PSU to the one crazy has, it's cheaper, but it's not semi modular. If I did that, then it'd be the same price as crazys, which would make my post useless, so nevermind :b And you could do the same, see how cheap you can get it.
Will do.
Seen a lot of these threads lately, good job toad, you've been very persistent.

If you could buy the OS at /r/softwareswap, you could get a more powerful GPU (10-15 dollars)

P.S. Got different PSU's, because the top one supports CrossFire, but doesn't support SLI. (so you could get two AMD cards, but only one nVidia card)
