Hi I am building a cheap pc and was wondering if the AMD A-6 5400k APU can run minecraft whilst recording with fraps at 50+ fps for smooth gameplay, also I dont mind turning down the graphics settings.

How about the AMD A-10 7700k Kaveri?
I dont really like graphics cards and prefer not to have one if I can as I had major driver issues with my old builds graphics card that took forever to fix
*EDIT* I am a novice at building pcs only building 1 before

I don't understand why people build a computer but short change themselves by putting junk in their machines. You are already a saving ton of money by building it yourself. Treat yourself nice, god knows no one else will, I call it future proofing the rig, buy quality parts and you will enjoy quality time with your puter. Buy crap and you get the picture.

Not everyone has a wallet full of cash. Some people like me just want the basics of computer gaming. We aren't trying to go out there an run 100 FPS with ultra settings. We just want to be able to play the damn games at a playable level.

I have an A10 6700 APU an it plays minecraft with settings turned all the way up. I don't know about the recording part.

I'm considering putting in a GTX 750 Ti GPU ($150-$180) will increase my gaming 10-fold compared to what I can do now with just the APU integrated graphics.
