Do not bother with new parts

 

You seek the used market

 

 

Go assemble something like an x3440/50 + whatever h55 or p55 you can find that can overclock + 12 or 16gb of ddr3 ram + whatever cheap 4 heatpipe cpu cooler you can find + whatever cheap old gpu you can find that isnt garbage like 400-900 series or r9 series gpus

Hi, @ayeet1223 I would recommend you look in the used market for a computer that will be more capable for same money. If you don't want to deal with strangers on FB marketplace: then used business computers can be had for an absolute steal from reputable online marketplaces. This 3ed gen i7 is fast (3.8ghz) and is going to have a iGPU just fine for minecraft. Only $330 you can also find refurbished computers at staples, amazon. Walmart here offers an extended warranty option for cheap if that is something you thing you would like to buy (through Allstate).  But unlike FB Marketplace, if you get a DOA computer its going to be much easier to deal with staples, amazon, Walmart ect than some stranger named Frank.   https://www.walmart.com/ip/Refurbished-Dell-Optiplex-7010-Desktop-Computer-Intel-Core-i7-3-8GHz-16GB-DDR3-New-1TB-SSD-Windows-10-Pro-64-Bit-WiFi-USB-3-0-DVDRW-2X-Display-Port/349216088
