Hey guys I was wondering what would be a better deal: The AMD Athlon X4 760K with MSI GTX 750, or the AMD A10 7850K with no graphics card. I just plan on playing Minecraft and recording it with maybe some shader mods, just tell me what is the best deal or if you have a better idea please suggest it.

Thank you all in advance:).

option number 1 always, integrated graphics isn't the best for gaming but a GTX 750 is a much better GPU and will play games much better, giving you a better gaming satisfaction.

I would rather get this GPU, costs roughly $10 more then the average GTX 750 but destroys it in gaming, you will also have an AMD build, which is better to keep AMD with AMD.

Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-bit GDDR5

when building a minecraft rig the most important things to consider are a bit different from normal rigs.
1. a smaller number of cores with a higher clock is better than many cores with a lower clock due to minecraft only really using one processor core.
2. RAM you need it lots of it and you need to make sure to configure java so that it actually uses it. you'll probably be fine with 8 but i'd say 8 would be your minimum
3. what the man above me said definitely go with the 750 ti

You don't need more then 8GB of ram, 8GB would be my maximum. Even the most graphical intense games don't need 8GB but it sure gets close to using up all 8GB. When i play games (I have 16GB), 3D design I get around 89% usage, BF4 Ultra 42% and minecraft much less then that i can assure you.

Depending on if you get into modding minecraft can get very ram intensive and I have found it starts to have problems when the amount used goes over 50% of what's allocated so I usually have at least 4gb set for minecraft
