Gaming PC
I was just putting together some parts for a PC, and I have a few questions.
How much fps will this get me in Minecraft?
Is this a good or decent build?
Can I do better than this for a better price?

I'm looking for some repsponses, thanks for reading.

Yeah you will get alot of fps probably like 3/400 with goodish settings. In my opinion getting a 970 rn would be a mistake as the RX 480 from amd has almost the same performance for about 200$. If you are set on getting a 970 I would recommend getting a custom card from the likes of zotac or msi so you have the possibly of overclocking. Soeaking of overclocking if you plan on overclocking your cpu/gpu you will probably want to get a 600w psu especially if you are getting bronze although you should be able to manage with the 500 w/o overclocking

See I'm not that good with computer stuff, but I'm tyring to learn. Like, I want a computer that when I record, I get like 300+fps with no drops. Can this handle that?

Yes it can but there will be drops sometimes, just happens.

Radeon is terrible for Java based softwares. Getting that is a terrible idea if you're going to mostly be using Minecraft

You can pay people to do it for you

You don't need an i7 for what you're doing

Get discounted windows keys here as well as Office(on this thread - 5ean is a verified user, I get my keys from him): https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/comments/4qtgj9/h_windows_10_7_8_81_servers_office_visio_project/

Your motherboard is overpriced, you really don't need it.

Here is what I believe you should get, it saves you $300, and will still have fantastic performance, with the money I saved you, I was able to get you an SSD, as well as a GTX 980.

With the money you saved, you can do a number things:

Add a larger SSD, Pocket the money, Buy a 144hz monitor (if you play CS:GO), new peripherals (keyboard/mouse)

You don't need to go and have someone build it for you.

Computers are not very hard to build at all, Austin Evans's like 80 year old grandpa did it.


Here is some guides to building PC's:


(Austin Evans)

This one is more like yours, it's using an intel-based system along with an EVGA PSU


(TechSource)

It's not complex at all, you can do it!

OR, you can go with this build which is right around $1500 which includes a 480GB SSD (instead of a 120GB SSD - i would suggest this if you plan on putting a lot of games as well as your OS on the SSD), GTX 980 TI, another fan you can mount on your CPU cooler, or really anywhere else, thermal compound.

Not sure if you saw my previous post, but even though it has the same performance as a 980+, it doesn't work well with Java-based softwares (Minecraft falls into that category)

So how much FPS would I get with the PC you recommend to me? How much while recording?

I honestly have no idea.

I'll just say this, Minecraft is not a difficult game to run.




This guy ran the benchmark in minecraft with a i5 6600k (the processor i recommended) and only a GTX 970, and he's getting 1500-2000 FPS,

You will be getting a great framerate in this game.

No @Ryano_ he will get much more than 400..I think Danteh has the same computer,and he gets 120-650 while streaming..

What about this : The Phanteks ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 395mm long, but video cards over 280mm may block drive bays. Since the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card is 312mm long, some drive bays may not be usable. It was it the coimpatibility notes, will this be a problem?
