It doesn't matter what other people think of your build. There is no shame in not having the latest and greatest of components! I myself do not have the most top-end build, but it works for me. If your build is working for you, then that is all that matters.

I'd recommend learning JavaScript and eventually (when you are happy with everything that you have been learning) branching out into Node.js
With Node.js you can make web servers and APIs which is handy if you are planning to create a web service. I recommend learning React.js if you want to start doing front-end development using JavaScript, Express.js for web servers, and MongoDB as a database (mongoose is a good wrapper for MongoDB)
 
If you decide to take this route and become a full-stack web developer, remember to take it slow. There are quite a few technologies that you have to familiarise yourself with, but it is worth it when you finally understand everything.
 
If you want to begin learning vanilla JavaScript, I can recommend a couple resources to you:
- W3Schools JavaScript Tutorial
- javascript.info
- JavaScript30
 
I wish you the best of luck ?

give me 3rd option called neither or riot

Why not both?
In Terraria, you have a "purpose" and relatively clear progression for everything. But you can also say fuck it all to the bosses and just build whatever you want...
 
In Minecraft, it is you, the monsters and the infinite world filled with nothing to do other than using your imagination and maybe try to kill the two bosses... after which your world is done.
 
Honestly, I like Terraria a lot, but Minecraft takes the win for me, simply because it's a 3D world and has some challenge to it since you never know if there's something behind you or not. The things you can make in minecraft also outdo Terraria, not to mention all the mods.
