I'm not to familiar AMD Gpu lineup but all I would suggest is that you swat out that 750ti with an equally priced AMD card, you have enough headroom on your psu and an AMD card will be faster (In that price range)

Insane at what builds you can create with that little money nowadays. And as seeing that ram at 34€, i have finally noticed that ram prices have dropped in germany aswell. Half a year ago 8gb would still cost you at least 70€

Drop the cooler and get a better cpu like an i3 or x4 860k ( or an fx 6300 =what i would get, with a relatively cheap 970 board),

Also, i would get an r7 370 or a 270 if you can find one decently pricedm

The Pentium runs Minecraft  great I have put in the hours to prove it I mean performance could be better, but performance can always be better no matter what you have, so I think this really cheap, and reliable processor will do just fine.

 

Edit: It runs it great not perfect

True, true, but her favorite MMORPG is this game called Wildstar and so I booted that up with the pentium put in a couple hours and everything runs fine. I'll probably upgrade her in the future but for now the pentium is the route I shall take. Thank you for the feedback! :)

That's not entirely true. Minecraft is single-threaded. It only uses one core. If you are building a pure Minecraft PC, you want something with few, powerful cores.
