Will this build get the job done?

Marmino555 · Sep 6, 2015

Guys I'm wanting to build a gaming P. C. This will be my first build.. It's actually going to be mostly for my daughter.. I'm wanting to be able to play minecraft on the highest settings and other games too. I understand that on a budget you get what you pay for.. I'm just wanting to be able to get her something that will Blow xbox one away... Let me know if this build I have picked out will do the job thanks...

I would not say the build would blow an xbox one away but it will compare well to it.

if you can upgrade the gpu to lets say gtx 960 or amd r9 280x, then it will be better than xbox one. But with 750ti, is more or less the same as xbox one.

Something like this will outperform an xbox easy. An AMD FX like your build is also possible but will need to be overclocked to make it perform the same as an i3. I replaced the harddrive with an hybrid SSD 1tb, 250 gb will be filled very quick.
