Bruh does Minecraft even need a GPU? Skylake integrated should surely handle it?

i would look into an APU build then, the A10 7850 is pretty good for light gaming, and sports a quadcore for other duties while gaming.

Good call, Didn't think about APU's, More of an intel boy myself.

i prefer intel as well, but on a budged/light gaming machine, APUs are fantastic.

Currently browsing the UK part picker site, lets see what i can come up with.

build-in wifi is terrible most of the time though, so i would avoid that.

I have a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI, Socket-FM2+ motherboard and that WiFi works great

What do you guys think?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/QMFzzy

Any suggestions?

You don't need a CPU cooler as one will come with your CPU.

That GPU is really bad and probably worse than the integrated graphics in your CPU (you don't need a seperate GPU for minecraft, but you can add one later if you want to play anything more intensive)

 

 Almost as cool as my temps
