So i alrady have a pc but i want to upgrade it to run minecraft way more smooth and record

Specs:
Cpu- intel pentium e5400
MOBD- AsusTek CG5270
RAM- 4gb ddr2
gpu- geforce GT 610

*This build does not run minecraft well*

I want to upgrade my cpu(minecraft is mostly cpu intensive) to something that will record minecraft at a high fps.

My budget is about 200 which should cover the mobd and cpu and maybe ram. But i can raise it to 300 if that is way to low.

*Also if i dont need a graphics card, then dont add it

The intel build posted by Damric is probably the best you are going to get. MC loves Intel CPUS when paired together with a gpu. Also, recording MC would be much better with an SSD, so theres that,

For the AMD build, none of the quality boards are on discount at this time.

For the Intel build, that's already a low budget board. There are H81 chipsets, but those are severely low quality boards like what you would find in a PC from Walmart.
