Don't really like that HDD (because it's Seagate and I've had some issues with their newer drives), other than that should be fine

[RedLineGamer]

Should I get a cheaper gpu?

Should I get a cheaper gpu?

Why?

If you can afford this gpu you should definitely get its as its more powerful than cheaper cards.

If you cant afford it however get the r9 380x.

Totally agree with this one, go with WD black drives. They are much more reliable imho. Also Im a bit of an nVidia fanboy so Id suggest going with a 970 for about another $15-20. But like I said that is just my bias playing in. Lastly the only other thing I would consider is going with 16GB of RAM; though this is easily done later in another few months when you have more money.

Minecraft is all about the CPU.

I heard that Seagate had some problems with the HDD's. Only with the 3TB drive tho. But idk I never had any problems with them.

fair that but i doubt he is gonna only play minecraft for the rest of his life

and having a better gpu will also let him sell his PC for a higher price

 

and its gonna help with the 4k texture packs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'd suggest changing the motherboard to an ASUS or MSI board. I've had bad experiences with Gigabyte, including faulty boards and terrible customer service. ASUS and MSI are just overall better quality for your money.

You mean sacrifice z170 and get an asus/msi h170 mobo(I might upgrade to an k chip)?

[Ling]

I never said sacrifice Z170? ASUS and MSI make Z170 as well you know? (the best on the market)

[RedLineGamer]

I know. asus, msi z170 mobos are more expensive. Is the asrock z170 pro 4 reliable?
