Soooooo, at the moment I can run Minecraft on about 80FPS.. I'm not looking to get a custom build, but would like some advice on what to get. I want to be able to run Minecraft on about 200FPS with High Quality settings to produce decent videos. I have seen the AlienWare range, but have heard it's over priced. Cheers xo

Better get a custom build one because that is where you can choose the equipment you want to add to your PC. Or at least that's what i heard.

Yeah I sorta figured, do you know like any websites that I could get one from or do you have to buy parts and know someone who can build it?

Hey Fossil.
I'd be happy to help out if I can, PM me if you'd like.
I'm happy to take you to a site and try to fit your needs/tell you what you need for your aim.
If you can't be bothered, imo the best shop is www.newegg.com
Reliable, cheap and a good range.

Dayum son.
You should be getting above 200, easy.
Just saying, you might want to go with i5, if you want to save some cash. Their isn't too much of a difference.

Yeah thanks, don't even think I can get that now as I had my location set on America and then when you switch it to Australia it adds like another $800-900 onto the price :/ All well :(
