Buying a new pc and I would like some help. This is similar to @~Ben 's thread. Thanks @~Ben for giving me this idea because i know nothing about computers xD. There are a couple of things (listed there V ) that I need the computer to be able to do/handle. I need it to run MC smooth. Stable 60+fps Within the $500 range. Handle editing software. Windows 8.1 Needs to be able to make cookies ( this is a joke do not take seriously) One last thing, I am also going to be making a pc in the future so I was wondering if any of you guys knew some good and reliable parts I could use. @Spikegold I was heard you could help me?
Well I have seen some cheap win 8.1 pc's out there that are pretty good but if your talking about the one I wanna make thats for a bit later in life just getting some parts ready

Austin Evans has some good cheap builds on YT. I know he's done a $500 and he'll probably also show you how it performs. If neither of those help, check out a good tech forum such as HEXUS ( Spoiler: HEXUSs web link forums.hexus.net where they can give some helpful insight :)
My list could probably manage 70 if kept at stock textures, ran on =<1080p, kept at =<16 chunk render and overall not overloading the system. EDIT: My cousin has a mid-ranged rig from 2009. Comparing the CPU and GPU together, they're essentially equal. However, the APU graphics can Xfire with the 265 (both being of R7 architecture) so this has a push ahead in graphic performance. And his setup gets him 110 FPS average (80-140) at 1600p with default textures, 12-16 chunk render distance (on 1.8.1 no optifine). Having said that, this setup could actually be quite decent for MC c:
16GB is the ram and 2TB is memory There is no way to have 2,000 GB RAM that would be like $10,000 Insane!
Ok, So this is the pc i currently have which might be too much but might give u an idea to save up for a good $1600 Pc/Laptop http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Gamer-Paladin-X990 Thats the pc i currently have, Now i would suggest a pc like this one for your purposes, http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Gamer-Paladin-X959 I suggest you save momey for that pc...^... About $1,700 but its worth it!
-_- dude, he wants a 500 dollar pc, not some 1.5 grand stuff yes, but minecraft is cpu only and badly optimized, having decent, not fast, setups.
True, but still. If a computer with an i5 750 and HD5850 can pump out 110 frames at 1600p, there's no reason he can't get the same, if not more.
razer blackwidow ultimate corsair k70 or k95 if you want extra macros cm storm quickfire ducky shine 3
Dud hes not ganna get a pc that runs smoothly on mc for $500. He might aswell get a crappy 4GBRAM laptop.
Just change current parts of your PC? With 500 $ you can quite a good cpu, gpu and motherboard. I did the same 2 months ago, but with a budget of 1000 $ A complete new PC costs a lot more than just changing current parts.
