Hi, i'm in the market for a gaming and editing PC that will run minecraft with shaders at 60+ FPS, as well as editing with final cut pro smoothly. This "build" would have to have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, as well as the computer itself. A small or mid-tower will do fine and no processor preference. Thanks in advance!
