I've never seen a build on here requested for more than $1000 USD... And you never really need a good computer for GAMING over $1000 USD.

This is far from a supercomputer, my friend. And you do need a quite decent computer for recording/gaming/rendering

Actually... I'd go for the GTX 650... It has alot of things the GT 640 doesn't on close inspection... PhysX, DirectX 11, GDDR5...

It depends... Linux doesn't have many games, Steam or regular, available. If you want to game with this system, go for Windows 7. If it's only Minecraft, Linux/Ubuntu all the way! I love Linux Also if it's only Minecraft, get a GT 640. Cheaper and can still handle what you throw at it.

Also, sorry for the separate post again, but don't make it via pcpartpicker, they charge too much. I recommend http://Tigerdirect.com, that's where I built mine that i'm using right now. Usually they have some pretty cheap stuff there. I'd recommend just shopping around a little.

BTW... Record with FRAPS and on the highest MC settings you'll get anywhere from 90-160FPS with that rig

Thanks! And would you recommend I use Linux as my OS? That way I wouldn't have to buy an OS and a CD driver... *flash-drive powahs*
