Bobby Fett · November 1, 2016

I would want a nice pc that can run Minecraft. What things should i get? I want at least an i5 core and a see through case that is quite and easy for begginers to make. I would like a i5, gtx 970+ and a 500g SSD or 256g SSD with 1-2tb of hard drive. Im a high school student and like to play games and do work on computers, i currently use a MacBook air which get to 100 degrees celsius while playing Minecraft!!! please help i would really appreciate if someone could give me all the specs for a quite and mid-ranged pc that has a glass case. I have own mouse and all get a keyboard. Please recommend a monitor as well pls.

We need to know the budget first.

Why would you want a GTX 970 to run minecraft? Also we need to know how much you want to spend.

1) Unless English isn't your main language, or even if it isn't, please try to revise your topic as it makes it easier for community members to work with.
2) You don't need a 970 for Minecraft, its mainly CPU dependant and requires little to non graphics processing.

3) Define a glass case? A full glass? or just a side panel?

So on this note, I will take what you have vaguely described and do my best.

You can pickup any old monitor, its only Minecraft after all, so any standard 1080p one will be fine.

for minecraft you don't need an i5. minecraft runs on java, it only uses 1 core of your processor. Get an i3 6100 + GTX 1050TI/RX470 if all you plan on doing is light gaming and minecraft.

Just because he said it gets to 100 degress playing Minecraft doesn't mean he ONLY plays minecraft.

Use the 'BB' button to generate a list that the forums will like. Also, that list is quite imbalanced in terms of the CPU.

@Bobby Fett What games do you play?
