The Perfect Minecraft Machine

[SuperShermanTanker]

 

So I was thinking what would be the perfect machine for the minecraft game, for the people who play the game we all know the game's graphics are very simple yet the game still runs like a brick so I wanted to see what partlists you guys can come up with that would be the absolute perfect machine for minecraft. The preferred budget for the machine itself is $550 you can include stuff like keyboards mice and monitors if you want and those wont count twards the inital $550 budget for the machine itself.

 

(Note: I'm not actually building this machine myself but it could help anyone who would like to build a machine to play minecraft or to give to someone who likes minecraft)

My 4690K OCed can't handle Orespawn mod dimensions, so for minecraft without modding you could go with that G3258 which would be overclocked very heavy, 8GB RAM and GTX 950 because its better than 750Ti and its same price

My 5350 was from the first computer I built a year ago now I have a intel core i5 and a 750ti the AMD Athlon 5350 is now in my file server with 2tb of harddrives hooked up to it  I no longer use the 5350 for playing games

I build that exact system for someone who wanted to play minecraft exclusively and it ran amazingly.
