OK thanks

I would help but I don't know anything about computers. All I know is that my computer works for mine craft. I only need mine craft. Minecraft is love, mien craft is life.

Is the cpu cooler liquid cooled and how many ghz will the process we get over clocking

How much more would it take to get a liquid cooling? Or would I even need liquid cooling?
Also could I overclock with this? What would I need to add to make it be able to overclock

I added a led one to match the other led thecase comes with on the top and these are the right sizes and checked the specs from the website to se what it comes with and these are the fans it has room for

Get them from the same manufacturer?

I run MC max possible settings at about 30 fps,litterally the settings are completely overkill. Optifine 32 + render, all settings highest,GLSL shaders and SEUS ULTRA. When I'm not being insane I get about 80. I currently use a hexacore AMD 6120,radon 7770, with 10 GB RAM. Not sure if you want extreme graphics but optifine utilizes multi-core CPUS so,(the more the better) As far as I know there is not really a benefit of using intel over AMD for what you are doing. If you were planning a $3500 animation computer though...... its intel and nvidia all the way (this is in no way based on my est budget and purpose for my next computer..............)

And no, overpriced RAM and not as good of a deal on the GPU. There's also no price on the OS and Case. This would be better.

So you think that a 500$ computer with weaker parts with windows 8 will work the same on a 1000$ computer with better parts (depending on the parts) none of the OSes do that...also windows 7 is cheaper...

Windows 8 uses less resources, boots up faster, in my opinion looks just as good if not better than windows 7, windows 8 is pretty much identical to windows 7 if you dont use the start button, just get start8 for that. I think windows 8 is soooooo much smoother and works better. I dont see how people think its "too hard to figure out"

Windows 7 is older, so it has had probably more bugs sorted out. Windows 7 can boot up close to windows 8 with an SSD, but not quite as fast.

A 500$ computer will also not run some (most) things as well as a 1000$ computer mainly because the specs are better. Like you said, and OS doesnt make much of a difference when the specs differ that big.

Windows 8 is not "not for gaming" either. In some cases it will run better than Win7, but in others it wont. Windows 8 may have some compatibility issues with older games though.

This may have some wrong facts in it because I am reallllyyyy tired while writing this.

I agree with all of this! It was worth typing.

Yes I did, and it doesn't matter how expensive your computer is, windows 8 will run any game the same or better.

I said that it will perform the same or better than Windows 7 if put in the same computer. It's also the same price. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/os/

Depends were you get it and windows 8 does not perform better then windows 7 gaming wise but I'm not going to say the windows 7 is better the windows 8 gaming wise

Stop spreading lies, read the last post on the first page.

We'll it can also depend on what type if computer you have..if you have a 1,000 dollar computer yes windows 8 will probably not cause a problem but windows 7 will still be fast for gaming...btw you made that post....

Yes I did, and it doesn't matter how expensive your computer is, windows 8 will run any game the same or better.

Tr[]ve^ cases have nothing to do with the speed of your games.

I'm not saying a case.. Like not a thing you will put around a computer or what ever.. I'm talking about some things on the OS will run smoother also I'm not talking about the speed of the game because he said "I think windows 8 runs a lot smoother"

mintychickenisWhat is this computer going to be used for?
photoshop after effects preimeir pro games like gta and minecraft recording
What is your budget?
$800-$1000 usd
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
montana
What is included in the budget?
monitor and tower Os and everything else
Will you be overclocking?
I might (can you make one with overclocking and without over clocking
Will you be reusing any parts?
mouse
What OS do you want?
win 8.1
Any specific case preferences?
red
Any other special features that you want in the build?
wifi ssd 2tb

Btw if you want the computer that's faster I suggest for the OS to be windows 7 because windows 8 isn't for gaming and it uses more space...that's just a what I'm saying but if you want to use windows 8 you can

I prefer win 8 it works more smoother I think

Also to add on to this-in some cases it works smoother

Windows 8 is better for gaming in almost all cases and sometimes increases performance by 5-25%. Don't spread lies.

thank you I also think its better

Will you be overclocking?

Will you be reusing any parts?
mouse
What OS do you want?
win 8.1
Any specific case preferences?
red
Any other special features that you want in the build?
wifi ssd 2tb

Btw if you want the computer that's faster I suggest for the OS to be windows 7 because windows 8 isn't for gaming and it uses more space...that's just a what I'm saying but if you want to use windows 8 you can

Windows 8 is better for gaming in almost all cases and sometimes increases performance by 5-25%. Don't spread lies.

SeghasIt would get more than 60 at all times. Like, 100-120fps maybe.

Probably closer to 600.
@Op is the build only for minecraft? if so then it is way overkill

I was thinking something like this:
Max Settings: 120-130fps
Medium-High Settings: 170-200fps
Medium Settings: 250-500fps
Medium-Low Settings: 600fps+
Low Settings: 1.8693902235 Trillion FPS

whoa 1.8693902235 trillion fps

Also, here's a nice red case my friend used for his new PC and he liked it alot:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811147160

This would be a non overclocking build, its not red because I couldn't find a good one. I also advise against an SSD in this build because you would have to get a less powerful CPU or GPU to accommodate it, which right now are great and just fit into your price range.
