I'm simply trying to run Minecraft at far on 300+ FPS (100 more than what I get now), and play standard games like TF2, LOL, and Rust at 60 FPS (Medium settings), and high end games at around 30 FPS on low.

I am either looking for a computer that I can get by this monday. That's why I want to go with pre-built but if I can find a way to get all the parts for a built PC by monday i'll buy it.

What i'm asking for,
A computer under 550.
Built or Pre-built, it doesn't matter. As long as it is here by Monday.

Wait wait wait... Why do you want 300+fps on Minecraft? That's going to lead to major screen tearing which isn't good. I recommend capping at 60fps.

I would go with this

It's $50 under $550
With the extra $50 you could go with, another4gbs ram, 60gb ssd, better CPU, etc

Should be able to play BF4 ultra settings at 1080p with 35-40fps

Really stressful school year and I need some type of stress reliever. Only 1 week into sophomore year and I've had 4 papers and had to work 2 days out of the week. It'd be nice to be able to come home, do homework, chores, then just play while I can.
