This is going to be my first pc build, and it's very ambitious for me. I'm a student and I love to do modded minecraft, as it's one of the most creative things I've ever encountered.
My location is Beaverton, OR, and my budget is $500 (Willing to stretch it more if need be). I'm planning on getting most of my parts used, as I don't have a big budget. For a monitor, a small monitor would be better, and the resolution of course 1080p. The most important thing is portability, as I need it to be somewhat lightweight, as I don't have any technology at school, and I would need to bring it to school. I was thinking of using a Velka 3, but I can't find it anywhere. So, please, please help me out as I am struggling on how to do this build. (Graphics card does not matter that much, as I am using this for modded minecraft, and warthunder.)
