Paying $465 for a 1060 is way too much, and there are special edition "Star Wars" 1080 cards going for $3000 EACH that lead me to question some peoples' sanity. In either case I'd probably not put better than a 1050 video card in it, unless the cryptocurrency market crashes hard. If you want to get something right now that can be cheaply upgraded over the next few years then look at systems with the new AMD Ryzen CPU. If the greatest aspiration you have is the best Minecraft experience for the least amount of money then get a system with the fastest clock speed you can (MC doesn't use multicore), probably a 2 or 3 year old Intel CPU, with 16GB ram. If you wanted a cheaper gpu i’d be looking at the 2nd hand market but imo the rx 6600 at 250 dollars is ideal atm. Only notes would be to maybe get a motherboard with Wi-fi instead if that’s a need of yours. Besides, prebuilt systems come with too many "Free 60 trial" offers that autoload and can never be removed cleanly, sometimes causing software problems.Ĭonversely, blindly going out and buying a top of the line Intel rig with quad 1080s in it will just be a waste of money, or be worth bragging rights but only if you can explain exactly why you went that wayįirst you have to decide what exactly you want to do with a computer. IMO an excellent starting point because it’s cheap and will play modded minecraft and AAA games. That sale system using an AMD FX 8-core CPU and DDR3 ram may be great for Aunt Sadie's Facebook but won't do you any favors in the gaming world and is there to make money from old dead-end stock while they can. I personally stay away from prebuilt systems entirely, as they aren't always put together with performance in mind.
