Opinions/suggestions on my PC build?

[Jimmy | Intelligent]

Hai guys, I've made up a computer and was wondering how many fps it would pull on MCSG?
Plus any better suggestions or advice

First Off you are better if with getting the Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz insteed of the Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3, Same price, better performance, As you can see in this chart : http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

Also I'd suggest to find some RAM that is supported by your motherboard as those you've currently got don't show up on the list of compatible RAM of your motherboard ( http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/ASRock/ASRock_Fatal1ty_H87_Performance/2309/Compatible_RAM )
The ones from G.Skill that do show up don't have the best grade for performance so you might wana chance that!

I've also heard that Seagate hard drives break fast

Sadly in Aus everything costs more, an i7 3770k is $100aud more :'c
I'll look into different RAM. Thanks MoLoToV

Sorry for the double post.

Since I can't change the processor, (It'll burst my budget) hows this? MoLoToV

Estimate FPS please?

If I was you I would get :
Black Diamond
16GB 2X8GB Memory RAM for HP ProLiant Series ML350 G6 Performance, ML350 G6 Special
Good brand, and you'll know for 100% sure it's compatible

I don't have any experience with the videocard brand you are planning on to buy, but I would guess it does about 400 FPS on 16 render distance and high setting on a normal map

Just a couple of things to comment on:

1. You definitely don't need a Intel Xeon processor for Minecraft. Those are commonly used as workstation processors, and are configured with dual CPU motherboards. Overall, the best CPUs in my opinion for gaming are Intel i5 series processors. Specifically, the 4000 series. I like the 4670K, as it's unlocked good for overclocking.

2. I would recommend an Nvidia graphics card, preferably something along the GTX line. I'm building a computer with a Geforce GTX 770 4GB. I think your money might be better spent on a different card.

3. The RAM may be a little much if you plan to play Minecraft. It's generally not a very intense game on your graphics card, and more so on your CPU. 8GB should serve more than enough.

4. Not too much of a cause for concern, but the power supply seems a little less than reputable. I would recommend power supplies with 80+ Gold or higher.

5. Not a whole lot for concern, but only one fan? I guess it just makes a bit of sense to me to get more fans if you plan on using your stock cooler for your build.

My build for reference:

Threw this together. I'll leave the OS choice up to you

EDIT:
I estimate you'll be pulling a good 150 to 200 easily when crowded. Hopefully more. Hard to say exactly.

EDIT AGAIN:
I tried to maintain two things. Firstly, the price. I tried to stay below 1.9 grand. Likewise, I geared the build towards a red color theme.

I can't source Black Diamond RAM on that site, so I checked through the compatible RAM and ended up with Corsair Veneance.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I would also like to be able to play Skyrim/COD on this machine.
May I ask why a Nvidia, I know its the better brand but the extra cost is it worth it?
I'll change out the processor

Yea Nvidia is awesome, I don't really know about your brand tho, it might be just as good aswell. It's just that when you buy a Nvidia you'll always know you get the best performance

I think that the extra cost put into an Nvidia card is well worth it in the long run. With software tech like GPU boost 2, it can automatically overclock your card within certain constraints so that you get the best possible performance. (Not sure if that is available on this card or not). The only thing about Nvidia cards is that they're quite large, so you may need to take out a hard drive bay from that case if you want it to fit. Shouldn't matter too much as you'd only need two or three at most.

I would get an I5 you wont probably need an I7 the other thing I would do is get 2 8 gig sticks.

May I just quickly add how much I appreciate the time and effort you guys are putting in to helping me build my pc
A really sincere thank you
