Hi all,

I've been doing a lot of research lately on computers lately but I still don't want to waste $2400 buying a gaming pc only to have it run at 10fps for most games. I love playing minecraft, especially heavily modded, and would like to have like at least 150+ fps when playing without mods. I also like PUBG, CSGO, and ARK survival evolved. On those games I'd like to have 60+fps. So are these dependent on the graphics card, because I've been looking and those get extremely expensive, and also I have no idea which is good and which is not. I've looked at iBUYPOWER, Origin, Maingear, CyberPower, and Xidax. Computer geeks please help me out. Where should I buy from and at what specs? (Also, which would be a better CPU based on my description above, Intel Core i7 8th Gen, or Ryzen?)

Thanks so much, anything helps.

For gaming I would stick with intel.
Only if you would be rendering a lot of stuff I would say Ryzen 8 core over this one.
