i was wondering if anyone here could help me put together a parts list for a nice gameing pc that would run minecraft with high res tex packs preferably without a graphics card. my budget is around $400 and i need a monitor
Look At The Razethew0rlds $400 build its fairly straight forward take that and prophet
Well it was a challange but i did it (well actualy i didnt its like $30 over) but if ur not gonna overcloack get rid of the cpu cooler and use the stock fan

my mistake i left u with about $20 for the keyboard and mouse :)
i understand that it's around this time that hardware prices see a drop, and that it's usually the prime time to buy (from now till after christmas) for many people. But $400 on a system is just money thrown away. If you're a jobless student who's been stowing a little cash away for the better part of a semester i can understand the urge to buy, but needing a monitor AND building a pc on what is really a $330-320 budget means a lot of compromises that will basically force you into an upgrade if you ever decide to pick up a new game that is more demanding than source/minecraft. If you really want to capitalize right now, buy a mobo and cpu combo and then work through break and drop 300 on a psu ram and a gpu. That's right i'm telling you to cookie cutter.
You could save another $200 and you could actually get a solid rig and monitor with room to grow. If you really want to build it though that kid's build is exactly what you want.
tbh it is quite cheap that is arpund £250 in the uk im making a £550 though and am having trouble cuz the build i did on the us version i cant get on the uk version and hardware is much more expenssive here :(
but yea either my build or look at logans cheap ass build
hi res texture packs (on minecraft) require alot of horsepower to run decently, and $400 won't cut it
but for minecraft low res, i agree with the cheap ass build :)
