I need a computer that will run Minecraft at full settings with over 61 mods at 70-100 fps. My price range is 500-700 dollars. This computer must be PREBUILT. Monitor not needed..
 
Solution


The hz on your monitor is what desides the maximum amount of fps you can "make use of". Doesn't matter if your pc can pump out 100+ fps, if the monitor is a 60hz (that would mean its limited to showing max 60 fps).

So, unless the monitor you have is a 120hz+, then 60+ fps is what you should requiring, not 70-100. :)

Then on to the pc:

Gamer pc's for less than 1000$ isn't really a walk in the park, when it commes to getting decent performance. But both of these should run something as trivial as Minecraft (with mods) without any problems.

I'd really recommend building one. I'm 15 and I'm no engineer believe me! :)
You will really get so much more performance! My first build ever I completed today and it only took me a few hours. Now that I know more what I'm doing I could probably do in in an hour and a half. It's really not hard at all! I'd search for austin evans on Youtube. He has an amd build for 500, I wanted to use intel so i tweaked it a bit and followed his tutorial.

That being said, 70 mods??? Seesh! You don't mean all at once, do you? You can't buy a prebuilt pc in that price range. if you must find a pc in that price range that can run with a few mods and textures than maybe alienware x51? It seems to be a popular choice. I really don't recommend buying one though if you care about the money you spend and want the best preformance.

Please don't make me laugh. Austin Evans? The moron that calls office pc's that uses an APU for powering the graphics for gaming rigs, please.

LinusTechTips (link below), would be the way to go for youtube tutorials mate.

But yeah, you will be able to get alot more bang for the buck if you build the pc yourself, compared to a pre-buildt one. Anyone with an IQ of 100 (which is the normal) and a youtube guide can build an average pc, so there's no excuse for going for the pre-builds.

Only area you'd want some assistance or experience with when it commes to building pc's would be case modding, custom watercooling and manual overclocking.

Look at his current setup and then tell me he only has apu computers. If you were to look at his higher end builds they aren't bad! LinusTechTips I am also subbed to, but he tends to reveiw things and have builds out of my price range. Though I do have to agree with you on your 2nd part. Also I don't think you need watercooling or anything fancy like that on a 600 dollar pc Also unless you really know what you're doing I wouldn't overclock unless you have really good airflow and a nice power supply. You don't want to cause damage to your parts.

What i was refering to is that Austin Evans isn't a tech-head. He's just a front figure that reads a script, and i'm well aware that he has higher budget builds, doesn't change the fact that he still post APU powered pc's with the title of "gaming pc", and that tells me everything i need to know about whats going on between his ears.

Linus has low budget builds, and reviews everything from the cheapest, to "best performance pr $", to the most high-end there is. And when building a pc, you should also chose the hardware yourself to make it fit your needs the best.


Most newer motherboards comes with "auto overclcocking" which most of the time gives you a decent performance boost without having to know anything about overclocking what so ever, so that covers the cpu and ram part for newbies.

Gpu however you still have to manually tweak, but that can ofc be done without messing with the voltages, so it involved very little (close to no) risk, and there are guides for this aswell.

Personally i always recommend that people get an aftermarket cpu cooler and overclock both the cpu and gpu, as its free performance that anyone can achieve, if they just bother to look at a short video guide or 2.


Custom watercooling a 700$ would just be stupid, yes. I mean, my custom cooling loop alone costs almost 1000$.

A Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo would be a decent option for an aftermarket cpu cooler. Its performance compared to the price is very good.
