yes, it would be faster. however, try to get a better cpu, such as 6300 or equivalent.

Minecraft would probably run pretty good on that laptop but titanfall wouldn't.

how well will this play minecraft

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

probly max settings 60fps+, may have to disable or lower anti-lasting though

RetroGamerMC · Apr 16, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

how many while recording

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

eh, it should be fine at max with no anti-lasting at 50fps+, but it might lag a little when first rendering a chunk or there is weather.

RetroGamerMC · Apr 16, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

wat if i upgraded to the 760x instead of the 750x amd cpu

3Dns · Apr 16, 2014

Nah, CPU is not the problem. You need better GPU.
Something like GTX 760 or R9 270/270X

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

well, minecraft is a very cpu intensive game.

RetroGamerMC · Apr 16, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

Would this handle better for minecraft

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

yes, that should add around 10 ish fps. you should be fine for minecraft with really awesome settings while recording

but, do you have a microcenter near you? if not, then you will either have to change the parts from microcenter to something else, or get a different part.
