$800-900 PC for Minecraft and Roblox

Posted

Budget (including currency): $800-900 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Roblox and Minecraft

Other details:  Please keep the monitor size below 24” because it will not fit on my desk and a keyboard with no blue switches. Monitor refresh rate above 75Hz and I will be playing at 1080p. Also, I don’t care if you go ATX or mATX, but please choose a motherboard with the BIOS already up to date because some motherboards still don’t have flashes in them and I have a pretty tight budget. One last thing, please include a Windows Copy in the build.

That includes an APU that can handle simple Minecraft and roblox at 1080p medium-low until the graphics card market stabilizes.

The board should support that APU out of the box. 

Keyboards are very subjective, I personally have no preference, I learned on squishtastic membrane keyboards with no key stabization. I also am not an expert for monitors, for me anything 720p or above is fine for me under 32in.

i just wanted red switches because my cousin has them and they felt really good and I have a TV in my room, but my desk is facing the other direction to the TV and that TV has been there for many years, and the area that I will be using for the PC, there is no wall there because my desk is facing towards the front of my bed, so I wish I could just use my TV, but it’s literally impossible

You can run both of those games on a chromebook. I'd recommend broadening your horizons before making an investment that large.

it's a bit over budget (~$100), but you can always remove the GPU, or simply downgrade slightly further

technically it would be more "future proof" to upgrade to use 12th gen and a DDR5 board, but it'll perform worse for now

 

the PC I listed should last you for a while (at least 10 years), and by then everything will be outdated, DDR6 might be released, maybe even DDR7/8, NVIDIA will probably be close to cards with 5 digits (10090), Intel will probably be in the 20/30s (i9-30900k), and both Intel and TSMC will be using angstroms for measurement, and so on so fourth

 

 

tldr: the parts I chose are arguably the best choice

a more "capable" cooler should run you ~$100

That's kinda like me buying a PS5 to play the new Gran Turismo and The Last of Us, with the intention of broadening my horizons later down the road. $900 console for 2 titles. Do you really need a $1000 PC to play $30 worth of games?

Did you really just tell him to remove the GPU when you picked a CPU without integrated graphics?

if you plan to remove the GPU to save $400, then you need to get a 12600K instead of the 12600KF

What exactly did you think we're supposed to get from this when you said this??

i just chose $800-900 because things like monitors are through the roof right now so i gave myself a little bit of breathing room for the monitor. i can always do like a $600-750 PC but then ill be using cheaper components that nearly wont last as long.

how are you doing today

CD? What year is it? 😆
