Cheapest specs that could Max out minecraft

[Thebman712]

So i am thinking of building my cousins a pc for their birthday, with the money my family and i pitch in and i want some specs that are cheep and could max out minecraft at 1080p, and cost as little as possible

 

 

by max out i mean full 1080p and 60fps at far and fancy, with smooth lighting on  i was thinking something like a i3 and a 750 with 8gb of ram or http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3PdHp

You might consider an AMD FX 6300 for about the same price. It might be a tad more powerful and is unlocked for if you want to add a cheap cooler such as a hyper 212.

i don't think you need 8gb of ram to max out minecraft? the CPU is a good choice, could look for AMD 750K too...take the money of the 2nd ram stick and put it on the GPU, if you could get an r7 265 that would perform much better in games...if someday for example he wan,t to play somethinng else than minecraft?! just sayin..

That is complete overkill for Minecraft.

 

Get an AMD APU. The top of the line i3 with HD 4600 could probably do that itself. But you should go with an APU from AMD.

I can roughly estimate the cost of this machine to around less then maybe at least $600 dollars or even $500 at most? Will you also require a monitor by chance?

i may but i may lend them one of mine until they can buy their own

[Thebman712]

but does any body have ideas on what it would take, i want to keep costs down, so would a i3 w/ integrated grapics be able to max it out 

[wng_kingsley7]

any peripherals?

[Thebman712]

Yup I thought so. But anyway I think the system you match up slightly better.

You get ram expandability from 4 to 8GB.

Probably potentially add an extra 3.5" hdd maybe even a ssd but who knows.

Then in 4-6months time you could get a 750 ti for him/her to increase the gaming performance.

yeah thats what i was thinking, they are only like 8 and 11 so its a good time to bring them into the pc master race, deffinetly would put in a 750ti if my aunt wants to do photoshop, she currently uses a old imac and needs a upgrade as it is her job, i should start saving now

Well I enjoyed trying to help you build an appropriate computer for your cousin. Don't forget to come back with any hardware or software related issues 750 ti will be a good purchase in the next coming months.
