I need a good desktop computer for mainly minecraft, but also recording. below $800 would be preferable. I really don't understand computers, so is it possible to make it sound more simple?

The lenovo k450e is a great choice. My friend has one for minecraft and can run it at 50-60fps online on maximum settings. It's $630 on lenovo.com.
Specs
8gb of ram
1tb of storage
Intel hd 4600 graphics
Intel 4th generation core i5 4460 3.2ghz

So basically to simplify these specs I'll tell you
1 terabyte is a lot of storage. A lot.
8gb of ram will make the game run very fast.(allocate 4gb of ram to minecraft for good performance!)
Ok so the intel hd 4600 graphics is integrated but haswell(intel) graphics have come a long way.
Hope this helps. It's really a good computer for the price! BUY IT ONLINE SO YOU GET ECOUPONS AND SALE PRICES!!!!! Good luck
