Im planning on buying that computer, and Im wondering if it could run Minecraft on Normal or Far distance, with no lag, and high FPS. And will I also be able to record with Fraps with no lag?
My desktop is a 64 bit windows 7 with 4 gigs of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 5400 integrated graphics card, and a 2.90 GHZ dual core processor.
I can run minecraft on far render distance while running a server that has 3 gigabytes of RAM allocated to it and 15 people playing. Any more people than that and I need to set it to normal render distance.
16GB of RAM and a water coolant system is most definitely overkill.
That's pretty overkill. You don't need SLI or anything that fancy. My computer has a single GTX 560, 8 gigs of ram, and an intel i5 that's aircooled. I run fancy/far with an HD texture pack at 500+ fps without optifine. I'm sure mine's a little overkill also.
Also: I'd build my own rig if I were you. Saves you money, plus you get to brag to your friends.
it will be able to run it, but you can get a much better deal if you build it yourself,
1) AMD's FX series was a flop, intel has much better price to performance than anything AMD has right now
2) prebuilt computers are all a rip off
3) it's PSU is probably a cheapo, which is very bad
4) it doesn't even list it's motherboard, so it's probably another cheapo
5) building your own is very easy, like an advanced lego set
6) the helpful folks in the computers software and technology section can help pick out the parts for it, just give them your budget and what games you'll be playing
Also, don't listen to coffecrazy, he really doesn't know what he's talking about [sorry but it's true]
Yes this will definately run minecraft at over 150+ FPS. Though its cheaper and better (in most cases) to build your own computer to meet your gaming needs.
I suggest building a computer with Intel core i7, decent NVIDIA graphics card and 4 or 8 GB ram. I have a computer like this and minecraft runs perfectly with optifine
hmm... It looks like it would do okay. I don't know much about how they named their processor though, I can't tell how many cores it has.
It's very easy to tell how many cores an AMD processor has (as long as it's not an APU) and it's not hard for intel processors.
AMD: if it's phenom/athlon, it will have X<number>, where number is the amount of cores (I think). If it's FX, it's the first number (for Bulldozer CPUs).
Intel: For old Core 2 processors, will have "Duo" or "Quad". For current ones, i3 has 2 cores 4 threads, i5 has 4 cores 4 threads, and i7 has 4 cores 8 threads. Pentium has 2 cores 2 threads. Except for mobile processors. Those are a bit confusing.
For APUs, I'm not entirely sure but I think that they're all quad core except for the lowest of the generation (so A4 for 3xxx, A6 for 4xxx and 5xxx) which have 2 cores.

I'd recommend two of these:

16 GB is overkill, even 8 is more than enough. I only have 2
My computer is worse than the one you posted other than the graphics card, and I can run on far just fine(about 60-100 FPS)
EDIT: Guessing this guy is a troll... I just looked at the link he posted :|
