I want to play minecraft at 30-60fps at medium or high settings and it has to run google chrome with habbo flawlessly. Here are the specs:
Case: CoolerMaster K380

MB: ASRock FM2A88M-HD+

CPU: AMD A6 6400K - 3,9Ghz

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Red 4GB DDR3(1600Mhz)

GPU: ATI RADEON R7 250 1GB

120GB SSD Crucial BX100
500GB HDD

PSU: Corsair VS450 voeding(450Watt)

I have a cd with an os and i alsof have a USB stick for wifi so thuis is all thats important. I dont think you care about an optical drive or something. But anyways, is thuis build bood enough?

I`d still say he needs decent integrated graphics. Something like an a8-7600 would work a bit better for this particular situation and when he decides he wants something more games will be playable without buying a graphics card.

Tho getting an i3 and a graphics card later later does help with upgradability.

AMD A10-5800K Trinity APU: $92 with code AFEX2W0010
Snag some 1866- or 2133MHz RAMs.

MC loves single core performance, so a pentium or i3 would be better

The graphics (and CPU) power of the AMD A10-5800K Trinity APU (or similar) is fine for your gaming and tasks -- especially with an SSD. It'll fly. Without the R7 250 discreet GPU.

The APU graphics engine ('Turks' Radeon cores in the Trinity/Richland APUs) love OpenGL, and will fly even faster with higher-speed RAMs. Trinity tends to top-out at 2133MHz -- Richland goes 2400MHz with few problems -- same with the Kaveri APUs and 'GCN' graphic cores.

Take the $$$ saved from the GPU, and put it back into your motherboard and RAMs. Any Trinity, Richland or Kaveri APU with *386 Radeon Cores* (Turks or GCN) will run just dandy.

The CPU performance is fine, and is comparable to that of an i3 in the overwhelming majority of tasks. Combined with an SSD there is virtually no difference, and the APU graphics engines are potent.

I got the choice between these cpu's:
AMD A4 5300 - 3,4Ghz

AMD A6 6400K - 3,9Ghz

AMD A8 6600K - 3,9Ghz

AMD A10 6800K - 4,1Ghz

AMD A10 7850K - 3,7Ghz
The 7850 is a little bit too expensive so i'd rather not have that. But will the 6800k or the 6600k also do fine?

The AMD A10 6800K 'Richland' is great. It's a 'speedier' version of the 5800K with 386 'Turks' Radeon cores. Same comparison above -- the AMD A8 6600K (and -5600K) only have 256 cores. Judge for yourself if you find that performance acceptable.

Any Richland APU should run most any 2400- or 2133MHz RAM. Without the GPU, if you have any money left over you can snag some aftermarket cooling.

It will OC like a sum beech, too :) with a decent motherboard. Not sure about that AsRock FM2+ -- do you have other options, there?
