Budget build

[msiefring68]

I'm doing a sub $325 build that needs to run Minecraft Max settings. I was thinking maybe a athalon x4 860k and possibly picking up a rx 460 once benchmarks and reviews come out for it. Any input is appreciated

Thanks

I'd do this, it's $300 and has a really solid iGPU with the Intel Skylake CPU as well as DDR4 RAM, which is upgrade able from 8 to 16GB's and the ability to upgrade to an i5 / i7 down the road if needed.

you dont want an amd cpu for minecraft since the game is sngle threaded and amd cpus have horrible ipc

Ok thanks for the input

I would go for this since it could do allot better with a i5 and a SSD and you can just upgrade to a RX 460 anytime

While 2x4GB would provide SLIGHTLY (although not really noticeable) better performance going with a single 8GB stick allows OP to upgrade to a second stick in the future for 16GB's.

In the games OP will likely be playing till he gets an RX 460 or whatever it will not be making a noticeable difference, what 1-3FPS at max?
