Gaming computer first time build

[ContraHacker]

Friends and peeps! 

 

I have a laptop and it is not good for Shaders minecraft. I am trying to get a gaming pc build and I need suggestions.

 

There has to be : 

 

DDR3 8 GB RAM

An SSD 128GB

Very good CPU <--Important. [is APU any good?]

Decent graphics card only AMD.

720p or 1080p screen

It has to run cool no need for it being silent

At most 1 TB HDD

If possible extra RAM slots and USB 3 optional

I have all the peripherals 

 

I have a budget of 800$ only. 

 

P.S. Cats are awesome! :3

all of that for 800 including a monitor??

[Faceman]

$800 including monitor?  What dollars are you using? US? Canadian? Australian?  Do you need an operating system, also included in the $800?

 

APU is not good.  You should be looking at an Intel i3 or i5 as a minimum.

You want 1080p.

I'm curious why AMD only?  It does make sense given your budget, just curious why you are adamant that it must be AMD.

 

Without knowing more, here is a rough draft:

Thanks a lol! I was using USD. Since I am and Indian we use INR and its easy to buy stuff if you use USD online.

AMD has good graphics card for light gaming and is comparatively cheaper. I have 7450M and it can go upto 250 fps without minecraft. But if I use shaders its 6-15 fps!
