Hello i am in the process of putting together a PC mainly for minecraft. i will not be recording, or using any intensive resource packs or mods. just shaders. i was building a machine that could at least get normal shaders (not ultra) to run at least at 40 FPS and here is what i made below. For your Information,i will only need a cpu, gpu motherboard, case, psu, ram and a optical drive. The Optical drive does not need to be good because the only thing im going to use it is to install the os. here is a link to what i have so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4NZkgs any changes to the better will be great Thank You!

Here's a pretty nice build that runs games like bf4 smoothly at ultra 1080p so minecraft definetly ain't a problem

This was the best I could do. I wasn't sure if you already had the monitor but I had to add in an OS. I made the RAM a LOT better than it was previous..
The thing is that you picked a 1333Mhz for 98 USD, and I found a 2133Mhz for less.. If you need me to make more changes, just ask. :)

Minecraft (vanilla) runs on CPU and RAM, and of you ever want to record it, Fraps does also run on CPU, so don't short on that.

- Minecraft works better on a single stronger Core (Intel)

- I have a GTX 650ti, and it runs medium shaders with standard rescource pack at ~50 fps.

- what is your budget ?
