Specs For modded MC?

Go to solution Solved by dadasmithywinkle,

I'm Getting A Pretty Nice PC And I Was Wondering What Specs Would I Need To Run Decently beefy mods On A MC Server.

Welcome to the forums! The CPU is what matters in MC, so get a GTX 750ti or 960 and a Core i5 or even Core i7. It may seem unbalanced, but it'd be great for MC.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

Actually no. MC at heavily-modded level also requires HEAVY single threaded performence

So, i5/i7/Xeon, 8-16GB RAM, etc. If he's running shaders, a GTX 970 or R9 290X would be sufficient, if not an R9 270/GTX 760 or up should do nicely.

This depends on your budget, but if I was going to reccomend something for that then this (others may disagree but everyone has personal choice):

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460

Mobo: A LGA1150 Socket that suits your needs but a basic of a ASUS H81M-D

CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO all the way.

GPU:  GTX 760 or 960

Case: Any case that takes your fancy it it your build.

PSU: Corsair CX500M

RAM: The cheapest dual-channel 8GB kit you can get.

HDD/SSD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB and a SSD for OS if wanted.

OS: What ever OS you prefer.

 

People can add or reccomend different parts, but this is what I thought of just now.

It is hard to say, It depends on what mods, What you are doing in the background, If the moon lines up with the sun in a 32 degree angle relative to ISS.

Minecraft doesnt always make sense.

i reccomend a 960 super super clocked because it is only ten more dollars and has the performance of a gtx 770 for only $210, very good for a high end budget

I know that.  That's the reason why current intel CPUs are better than AMD cpus for minecraft.  The pentium 3258 is good for minecraft on the cheap.

Modded MC, I dont know bout processors but their GPUS get low frames...

I have a FX6100 and my friend has a Phenom X6 1100T.  The X6 has much better single core performance so he gets 20-30fps more than me with the same GPU (6850).

You do not need a very powerful PC for minecraft even if its modded (Unless shaders) I would recommend Discrete over integrated but that is quite obvious. I have it running on my macbook air which is really underhandedly powerful :)
