So Im going to build a PC, I think this computer would do pretty well, but Im trying to find out MAINLY if the GPU will work well for it. I'd preferably want to be able to play minecraft in MAX setting 80-100FPS. I'm not sure if this will work... let me know please (any suggestions are appreciated, but please note, Im trying to stay in the budget of $500 (BEFORE REBATE))
Thats it! Now also, one more question: would it be better to get the 2GB GDDR3 version, or the 1GB GDDR5 version of the GeForce GT 630... or would it be better to just not get that graphics card atall? Also, if youre going to say something wont work, please let me know what WOULD work then Thanks for any help in advance!
Edit: I did not get the NVidia GT 630 but instead got the GTX 650 ti 1GB (Facty O/c). It runs very well and on normal textures for minecraft it runs at 100 - 140 FPS. The GTX 650 ti is a great graphics card and would recommend it to everyone unless youre trying to play like BO2 at 100FPS. Minecraft will run amazingly well for you on the gtx 650 ti unless you have really bad CPU & other stuff. I got everything the same except the graphics card, it runs at the FPS above. Hope I helped someone!
Umm Thats quite bad,
If you can change the GT 630 to somthing like a 7750/7770/7850 theres alot on sale right now
If you can get a seagate / western digital hard drive since there better (more reliable etc)
The barebone kit is bad too but i cant find a better deal
you should compare 7750 to a GT 630... even a 7850. I find nvidia to be much more reliable. But thanks for the advice. Seagate was planning to get since its only $5 more :P*looks at 7850* *realizes that that may be better...* *wonders how expensive it is...*then sees that its half of the price of his budget.... Thanks... :Pwhat if I used this GPU instead? thanks!or preferably a lower priced one like this GPU. Would this one work, too? Thanks!

That's everything you SHOULD need under budget so if you want to get anything else go for it. No need for a graphics card.

I really appreciate taking your time to put this together... but the problem I have with this, is that the big problem with the other computer was what graphics card I got. I dont understand how this could just be "relieved" when I get this computer ;P On-Board graphics (from experience) suck and I get 2 FPS on minecraft with onboard graphics. The only thing better I see with this compilation is the processor (and only by a-bit, not anything that I think would affect performance... [especially since minecraft currently doesnt work with more than one CPU core unless you use optifine(beta multi-core chunkloading[I play snapshots ;P])]) The Mo-Bo may be a-bit better, but absolutely nothing that would affect performance... (right?) so basicly the way Im seeing this, is if I went with this, I'd get a "slightly" better CPU, which (correct me if Im wrong) wont help ATON on gaming(well atleast for like MC & simcity & stuff). I would buy this & the GTX 650 if I could, but thats definetly too expensive. Now that I think of it Im really more of looking for a GPU to fit to my needs.... Thanks tho. And happy 400th post!!!!
i5 4670k @ 4.9GHz - Stock Heatsink - The rest is melted silicon but I think I have a graphics card in there somewhere It surprises me how many people on this forum can't read benchmarks.

Trust me, the A8 has very powerful onboard graphics so you won't have to spend as much for a crappy GT630. Just keep the APU, and you'll be fine. The Athlon is a VERY bad processor so don't bother with it, same with the GT630.
.... Im thinking whether Im even going to reply to this..... but I guess I will....
first of all: the processor you have on there is worse... the one I have is tri-core at 3.20GHz...
2nd of all.... I said $500 so Im not getting why you said "dig up $1.86"... did you mean to post somewhere else?
3rd of all.... you couldve just said the GPU seeing as Im looking for a GPU mainly, unless someone tells me the one I have setup isnt gonna work...
4th of all.... LOL that GPU is worse than the GTX 650!!!
All your gonna do is play minecraft? You could play that with a gt 610 -.-
No ill be playing games like:
Simcity, BF3 (If atall possible), FTB, may do some shaders mod stuff, etc. I'd like to get a computer that can last for low"ER"-end games for awhile. (like when the next simcity comes out Id like to be able to play that, too.)

IIRC the 450 has the same single-thread performance as a 3870k. It'd be fine for Minecraft.

... Are you trolling? Literally everything you said about my build is dead wrong. The G540 is the same as if not better than the 450 at most/all tasks. And it's cheaper. The 7770 is overkill for MC. It's about 30% better than a 650. You'd need to scrounge up $1.86 in change, assuming you had your $500 from the budget ready to go. You're biting the hand that feeds you.

............................
7770... lets look that up...
the facts I think that the biggest deal here, would be pixel rate -and- the memory bandwidth... would it not? lol. So maybe theyre ~about~ the same, but the GTX 650 in the lead...
also, the processor.... show me one fact that says that is better.......... I see none, seeing that the AMD athlon is tri-core at 3.20GHz and the intel is dual-core at 2.50GHz... just because its intel doesnt mean its better...

I think you'll find that my facts transpose better to what you'd be doing with that GPU, unless your hobby is trying to run a 16 gigapixel monitor array off of a low end card.

I still feel that Nvidia will be more reliable. I have had AMD GPUs before and they seem to plain... suck.

Probably because you had a flagship nVidia GPU and a budget AMD GPU.

I think the 650 tiwould work the best for me... let me know if this is a good GPU...
The 7770 is roughly the same if not better than it (esp. in compute). Getting a 650ti would push you way over budget though - the 7770 is $30 cheaper.

I think its worth $30 to make it last longer than a year...
If your card can't last a year, then you got a bad card. That's the manufacturer's fault, and you can RMA it. GPU brands have nothing to do with bad eggs. (Typically OEMs make both AMD and Nvidia cards)

I think its worth $30 to make it last longer than a year... but is MSI an ok manufacturer? 650 ti MSI thats $7 more than the 7770, thats worth it ;P
