Gaming PC Help

[swagminer]

I'm looking to get a decent PC for modded minecraft with a budget of around 600-1000 dollars. If someone could tell me some good parts that I could get that would be around my budget that would be great. I'm looking for...

- 8 or 16 gb RAM

- a nice processor with 2.5 - 3.5 gHz

And the rest doesn't really matter to me...

Pretty freaking overkill for minecraft unless you are playing 4k with extreme shader mods. That overclockable celeron and a 750ti should be perfectly fine for minecraft 1080p 60fps

Ya but if in the future he wants to play more demanding games he won't have to worry about upgrading.

Here is a PC I have built for you. It will run minecraft fine, but can also run some games that you might like in the future that fits in your budget.
