title says it all, need a pc for about 800-900 bucks, i dont need monitor, keyboard or mouse, or OS (using linux) i mostly play minecraft, well Feed The Beast, so RAM and GPU are the main two things, also instead of a 1tb hdd, would 2 500gb be better? but i still want processing power too, incase i ever decide to peek over into windows for editing and such.
Thanks!
