New Computer?

Hi!
Recently, with the holiday season coming up, I'm planning on pooling in with my parents for a new computer for me. My current computer is a late 2009 Mac Mini, and with all my settings at the lowest, I run at about 20 FPS on minecraft. I'm looking for a somewhat cheap gaming computer (doesn't need to be gaming, just needs to be able to run MC over 60 FPS) under 1000$. And suggestions?

Just build one yourself. You will save hundreds of dollars and get yourself a much better computer. Anyways, this computer will easily get over 60 fps in minecraft.

All of these computers will help you get the performance that you are looking for. Just the higher price ones will do it better than the lower ones of course.

Well with a under 1000$ budget and not like 600$ budget like some people do this is really easy. I'll list a few things for you from a closer to 1000$ price and go lower and you pick what you like. Let's start.
