I was wondering if someone out there knows how well this build could run Minecraft. Here's the link for the current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R4shwP my maximum budget is $600 with mail-in rebates included. I was hoping for this pc to be able to run Minecraft at 60+ FPS with a 128x128 resolution texture pack or with a nice shaders pack. I do plan on ordering this or a better build. Keep in mind that if you suggest a build it MUST have an optical drive and operating system. Thanks for all your help!

Minecraft is fairly CPU reliant, so going with an A10 isn't really the way to go, especially for a $600 build.

Alternatively, if you don't feel like going with Windows 10 and are willing to sacrifice a little motherboard and PSU quality (The PSU is still reliable however) you can do:

Thanks for your help! I'll have to choose your first option over the second purely because of a tight budget. How would I get the Windows 10 Technical Preview for free? Also wouldn't I need to add a CPU Cooler?
