    Do you mean GPU? You can't have two CPUs and no GFX card

    Certainly did!

    A small concept build I put together for you, for the parts that you requested, going just slightly over your $500 budget.

    i5 4690 still a great CPU in single core performance, and is going to benefit you a lot. Not unlocked, like requested. If you want to take advantage of the hyper-threading that i7s offer, you'd have to spend a little bit more, but nothing too drastic.

    ASRock H97 PRO 4, great budget motherboard, gets the job done. Cannot overclock a CPU on it, as requested. Expansion is limited in terms of the GPU side of things, so if you plan to SLI / Crossfire, you may want to reconsider.

    Simply 8GB 2x4 RAM. Shouldn't need more than that. If you're serious about the rendering, and video editing, and are dedicated towards it then go ahead and opt for 16 gigs.

    Finally, 960 is a great budget CPU. The 970 is quite a bit more powerful, but so is the cost for this budget. However, it will get the job done very well, and will certainly play modern games at medium settings.

    Wonderful build, OP. Great job.

    The motherboard you picked is still a motherboard that allows overclocking, should you decide so in the future, so not to worry. If you do, be sure to grab an aftermarket cooler of some sorts!

    Have fun.

    Already owning the parts you mentioned is great, and you should get a decent CPU, GPU, MoBo and RAM for $500±

    If possible, it would be great if you could tell what the computer will be used for!

    Thanks.


    EDIT: Do you have the other components, such as a case, HDD, NIC, Cooler etc?

    That is not done in a resource pack as far as I'm aware. It comes default in 1.8.

    New blocks / items every couple weeks? I wish, haha.
    But I think Jeb_ has done reasonably well in his not-so-new role. He's added many different types of functioning items and decorative items, both which play a very important role in a building / survival game.

    IanDigjava.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 49, Size: 45

    I'm pretty sure this has something to do with item IDs, don't count me on that though. Possibly an ID is too high and must be lowered. It would make sense, as you aren't really playing vanilla, so either there is a conflict between 2 or more mods, or you've done something wrong manually changing the items IDs to make sure 2 mods don't conflict (If you have done that?). But just Google that error and you'll find a solution.

    I've got the Galaxy S4, works like a charm I can't comment on comparing them, I've never owned an iPhone, always been Samsung with me. However, I'd recommend having some big hands haha,

    Jedimartin please take everyone's advice. I'm not some huge tech guy, but some of the stuff you're saying is so painful to read. If you ask for help and advice, please do take it All I can say is: get windows 8, your games will still work. And don't get professoional. It has absolutely no benefit to gaming at all really, and what you're refering to as 'Low' max RAM, is 32GB If I'm correct. You ain't never ever ever ever gonna need more then half of that for what you're doing.

    1. Beta 1.5

    2. Building a 1x1 tower and staying up there. I didn't gather enough resources for a house haha.

    3. I always used to make cave houses - just dig a door in to a wall and make a big square as a room, lol.

    4. I used to play World of Warcraft (still do lol). I heard someone mention it in general chat. Checked it out and loved it :p

    5. Best Minecraft memory is griefing in multiplayer hahah. I've always been a singleplayer guy - the awesome feeling you get when you find an unprotected house is just exhilarating I don't grief anymore haha that was years ago.

    6. What would be in future updates :p It would be spoilers, but heck haha.

    7. Enderman, Chicken or Squid I can't choose lol.

    8. Don't have one. Minecraft is getting better every update it my opinion. No updates have 'ruined' the game, like people say.

    9. I do not remember I'm afraid haha. Was so long ago.

    10. I do not remember again haha. I would guess, not very good because of all the evil stuff and everything. I wouldn't of liked it anyway, I was using some really poo laptop at the time :L

    An extremely good investment indeed. You should be proud of yourself, looks like quite a beast.

    Expect to run many high end games including Crysis 3, Watch Dogs or BF4 / CoD on highest settings on multiple 4k monitors, and still easily get a good 500+ fps. -While- rendering and recording videos, should I mention.

    Getting a graphics card is not going to improve how Minecraft runs much at all. You'd want to upgrade your CPU if you want better performance on Minecraft.

    The Deathadder is wonderful. I used that for a while too. Currently using the Naga, though of course this isn't for everyone, and I wouldn't recommend it if you don't need it. I play a lot of MMOs and I find the keys extremely helpful. Don't get something too fancy for just Minecraft though.

    I wasn't aware there were 2 Deathstalkers, excluding of course the Ultimate version. It may just be a branding thing, or something to do with the keys. Look it up aha.
