Could you edit it so it will be wht u recommend?You can find cheaper ram for good quality
Thanks! So I should over clock it?Certainly get the build with the 4790k. The 3770k is an older ivy bridge CPU, so it will become outdated faster. The only problem I see with the 4790k build is that it does not have as high end of a video card as the 3770 build (gtx 750ti vs 660). Even still, the 750ti is a great performer for the cost and does not use that much power. If you are only planning on playing Minecraft, I wouldn't recommend anything better then a 750ti anyway. On top of that, the 4790k can be overlocked which could be something you want to consider later on if you want more performance.
That depends... Your CPU cooler will be able to handle a solid overlock, but it is really a matter of weather or not you want to. Overclocking your CPU will void your CPU's warranty, but as long as you don't go crazy you should be fine. I personally am weary to do it with my i5 4670k (only CPUs with a "k" at the end of them can be overlocked) because I don't have adequate cooling for my CPU. I would recommend watching some videos on YouTube about weather or not overlocking is right for you. There is far more information out there then I can put in this thread. If you don't decide to over clock; however, I would go with a non "k" series CPU (4790), and a motherboard with an "H" instead of a "Z" before the chipset (ex. ASUS H97-A with a 4790 vs ASUS Z97-A with a 4790k).Thanks! So I should over clock it?
personally, i would get an nvidea equivalent, and i would add in a 120 gb ssd for his os.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VTcRCJ
If you need a disc drive add one,
For the OS, get here
Also this has a way better GPU a better PSU too
nVIDIA is good, but I mean, you can get just as good with a AMD card.personally, i would get an nvidea equivalent, and i would add in a 120 gb ssd for his os.
yeah, well nvidea has their own software and such. Also, my mom had a PC (3 AMD CARDS!!), all were overheating. (She eventually returned it and got a nvidea based one). I have 3 PC's in my home w/ Nvidea, had no problems w/ overheating. Also, some games are optimized for Nvidea (Borderlands, Assassin's Creed)nVIDIA is good, but I mean, you can get just as good with a AMD card.
I've used cards that have been used mining bitcoins for over 6 months (Think of it as a extended stress test xD) and they are still working a charm in a X-FIREyeah, well nvidea has their own software and such.
