dude, this will run minecraft on max settings over 400+fps XD if minecraft can go that high. so, you can get a really nice resource pack, like a 256-bit, and still run at max settings.

Danbuscus25 :

OP For that build you should be able to get a better graphics card, yours is only DDR3 and not very good. I'll try to configure something for you.

That should run quite a bit better than that pre-built system. You would need to assemble it yourself but it's not difficult at all.

My build suggestion, anyway JOOK-D is right.

The GPU is very weak in that build the OP posted.

JOOK-D :

i have an athlon x2 ii 270, and a radeon hd 6670, 4gb ram, and i can play minecraft at 200+ fps.

Danbuscus25 :

Danbuscus25 · Feb 28, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

Sure.

I dont believe u because I have a AMD A8 5600k and a GTX 750 and I can only run it at 170 fps lol

Danbuscus25 :

lol this, a lot of things can run minecraft.

nikoli707 · Mar 1, 2014

minecraft is extremely cpu bound and very poorly optimized. a 4770k with hd4600 graphics only max the game out at 1080p with upwards of 150fps. even adding a gtx780 only boosts fps about 30%.

nikoli707 :

OP, listen to him
