Hey this is the pc i came up with and was wondering if it was good enough to play games on.
The main game i will want to play is minecraft with good fps. And if you could add an optical drive and fan for the cpu that would be nice. Thank you!!

Your build costs $676.41 without mail-in rebates, but for a little more, $689.91 I would go with Intel's i3 and AMD's R9 270. That should provide you better performance in any game. I have also included the OS and an optical drive.

The motherboard will also accept RAM up to 32GB, so upgrading is always a option. Not only so, the motherboard also supports Intel i5 and i7/Xeon, which should provide a major performance boost if you ever require it. The R9 270 is also more powerful performance wise over the GTX 750 Ti.

All the best. :)
