Am I stupid for doing this?

I got a PC last December ( http://pcpartpicker.com/b/nDhqqs )but I never really used it to its full potential. The CPU never got over 50% exept when running benchmarks, F@H, etc, and the GTX 970 was barely used because I play minecraft on it 90% of the time. The RAM never got over 10 GB usage.

Well that could be me to be honest.

I think it's kinda like getting a million $ Lambo, you don't need it but it's just cool to have.

You want to share or something? My 7950 could use an upgrade for those Skryim ENB's and witcher 3 and stuff.

If you don't plan on running any heavy games you can:

 

A.) Send the 970 to me and I'll give you my GT 740

 

B.) Start Folding 24/7

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

Run the shader mods for mc. Now. Otherwise your 970 is literally sleeping it's life away.

Did you enjoy building it? Did you learn something? honestly it might be overkill for what you do now, but it should last a while.

Your not doing it right. Run all the game enhancing mods on minecraft and your PC will implode. Go do it now, the glorious visuals with a heavily modded version of minecraft is a godsend.

Well even that build is slightly overkill.

Minecraft with 200+ mods and shaders will burn your pc sooooo...

Run MC with 4K textures and the most demanding shaders you can find. It can be more demanding than Crysis xD

What if they release a 4KHD realistic version of minecraft in 2025 ? At least you have some futur proof there.

Your PC is overkill for minecraft... Go and run demanding shaders in 4K, or start folding, play other games or whatever...  :)

 

I hope you will use your horsepower you have.
