Ight so I got about 500 bucks and I was going to just get a better laptop that I already play on ( I get about a stunning 30fps ) But looked up Gaming PC's and saw that there actully not that expensive. I am not great with specs but know abit. I was looking at this video
. And was thinking of just coping that whole settup. But if you have any suggestion's on other stuff please let me know! But my range is about 500$ Also can be a laptop or PC.

Thanks c;

You should do what I did when I came into some money. I didn't have enough money to get the high end stuff but I did get a AMD A10 APU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113280. This processor got minecraft up to 150-200 fps on medium settings. The rest of parts you can be up to your choice and desires. But this processor got the job done at the time until I got a GTX 650 a couple months ago. If you want to save some money by not getting a graphics card then get the processor!!

Runs decent.
I can vouch for it as I own it. :)

EDIT: Keep in mind that Austins 500$ pc doesn't include an operating system (Windows 7) so that will add an extra 100$ or so to the 500$ already.

on that build you have how many fps do you get without optifine and on what settings
Without Optifine? I always use Optifine, but without it I get 30 fps on fancy and 8 chunks. BUT with Optifine I get like 100, so why would you not use Optifine?

If you were to play without optifine and on fast graphics and say 5 chunks, you would get better fps, around 60.
This is fullscreen btw.
