Pc for little sister that wants minecraft

[dumbassdannyy]

My little sis wants a pc for Christmas to play minecraft on. I know it isn't that hard to run but she want to install mods and play multilayer in servers. Do u guys have a pc build suggestions?

[Andrew Storlie]

G3258 over clock it with a 750ti

Edit, with no mods i would say get and amd apu but i play the tekkit 1.7.10 pack with 200 plus mods and the dedicated graphics help with that and the dual core is plenty for minecraft

[TheKDub]

Budget? Form factor preferences? any other preferences?

 

 

If it's pretty much just for minecraft, a pentium g3258 and it's integrated graphics would most likely be fine, though you could throw a low end GPU in there as well. That or perhaps a mid-ranged i3.

An Athlon X4 860K would be better.

Budget $300 don't care about Intel or am or any of that stuff

Minecraft is CPU intensive. 4 cores will be better.

Including Windows?

[iHardware Shelden]

For $300 I would say an A10 of some sorts

[dumbassdannyy]

If u can try to fit it but if not that's ok

[Sir Asvald]

If u can try to fit it but if not that's ok

$300 is a very low budget.

5960x, 4x sli 980ti`s on liquid nitrogen an intel nvme 1 tb ssd, 1600 w psu, windows 10 pro,

on serious side, probably athlon x4 860k, and something like a 750ti or similar, 8gb of ram, or a10 with some high speed 8gb ram and oc it

first of no 4 cores wouldnt be better, minecraft only utilities 2 cores and being on 60 bucks and you can ober clock to 4.5 easy on even a cheap 60 buck itx mb, it would be best... plus give her the option of upgrading to something like an i5 or i7 later on which will kill any amd for gaming

She doesn't care about upgradeability

Not in that way.

Java 64-bit is pretty good utilizing what's available, not just cores but all the gpu horsepower you can throw at it. You can bring minecraft to a crawl if you have enough tnt blocks...

Could I please get some more options?

Apparently I'm the only one here that can come up with a build for under $300.

Well thank u. Can anyone else achieve this?

[pckid]

Well thank u. Can anyone else achieve this?

Maybe with used parts.

[Andrew Storlie]

you cant go under 300 unless you use an apu and thats really the only apu to pick. Only things to change is your personal preferences on ram, a case. Hdd size.... just make sure you get the highest speed ram you can afford as it will make a huge difference in preformance in games
