Do not downgrade!
Think a gtx 970/980 and a z97 mobo would be wise upgrades .
Can I ask what amount of ram you have?

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

so you think I should keep everything the same and its perfect the way it is??

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

Yeah it should be fine. Upgrade your gpu and switch to a z97 mobo if of course you want to oc for some more performance

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

how much fps would my pc specs get me without me changing anything in minecraft

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

I heard about 500-750 fps medium settings which is amazing for me so I don't understand why I need to change anything

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

You can play with shaders on max settings on over 80fps with the current rig

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

waqaramini78 :

Upgrade the gpu if you plan on playing something else more demanding

If you plan on just playing mc and some other not so demanding games then it should be fine.

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

that's pretty good. and I don't even like to use shaders so that's a lot of fps

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

someone people are telling me to change my i7 4790k to something else, as a cpu expert, should I?

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

if not, nothing else needs to change as I heard I can get a lot of fps with my current gpu

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

waqaramini78 :

You'll get so much fps you might want to limit the max fps as sometimes it can bug out.

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

waqaramini78 :

If you currently own it then keep it. But if you are planning on buying it then go for something cheaper like a i5 and invest more money in the gpu

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

that's fine, just making sure, your saying I should keep everything the same...

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

Yeah. The build is better than enough

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

ok thanks for the help. btw imm building a whole brand new pc

Elemential · Jul 3, 2015

What's your budget? I can recommend you a cheaper build that might give better performance

migronesien · Jul 3, 2015

If you're ONLY playing Minecraft than this PC is a bit overkill. Keep the GPU it's fine but drop the CPU to some i5 and you dont need a third party cooler for your CPU. You wont need any overclock on the best gaming i7 for Minecraft.
Will probably safe you a few hundred bucks.

waqaramini78 · Jul 3, 2015

but the thing is id eventually get bored of playing minecraft at some point. so id rather spend big now on a really overkill pc and eventually later when playing cod and battlefield id have the fps to be happy, don't you think so aswell???

migronesien · Jul 5, 2015

Well then yes. But since you said "I am specifically going to be playing minecraft that's it" there is no reason for this hardware. If you're going to play anything then yes, there is a reason to get it. But i would still recommend going for a good i5 instead of the i7 and maybe upgrade your GPU to a 970 if you want good framerated throughout all games.
