    depends what u want to do with it.

    if you want to play mc normally, it should run good but if you want to record / use shaders, you need smth better

    I have a MSI 970 GAMING ATX AMD - MOBO/Motherboard. I really like this computer but, if you want to go for something better, you can.

    well technically any but my parents will be more willingly to buy it if the price is lower.

    The 970 is one of the first ones I found on Amazon. If theres any better...you can link me it..
    I also decided to get the Krait Edition instead of the reg 970

    I don't think you have to have that motherboard if you're using those other parts; If you're not planning on overclocking a cheap gigabyte one works really nicely, but thats just what I used to build mine

    If you end up spending less on the mobo you can buy more accessories, or get a better cpu

    Listen to @Spikegold , he knows everything lol

    I use PCpartpicker.com to build my computer, make sure you understand what each component does, and compare it with what you need. If you're buying this computer to play something not graphically intensive(minecraft), then you can afford to go cheaper.

    For the motherboard, I'd suggest Asus and Gigabyte, but what matters more than the brand is the motherboard itself; check for reviews and compare the prices on pcpartpicker, you'll find some good stuff :)

    There's also tech forums like tomshardware that you can use to ask for opinions!
