Try getting something like a Mac Pro or an iMac, a lot of people say that Minecraft was not built for Macs, which is true, but Macs, if you get the right one, can be better than windows. And one more thing, the human eye can process UP TO 60 frames per second, so a computer that gets more than that doesn't need to, 40+ fps is fine, just my opinion on that. But one other thing, make or buy a computer that gets an average of 40 fps, then get the optifine mod, it REALLY works! I have an 8 year old macbook which runs at an average of 20-30 fps, but thanks to optifine (and manipulating my RAM lol) I can get over 60 fps

First of all, don't necro posts.
Second of all, don't post crappy advice. Since I have some time I will disprove you.
Mac Pros are absolutely horrible for gaming, they have a 2 generations old weak graphics card and server processors. They're also horrendously overpriced (2x)
iMacs are just stupid. "Retina Display" means absolutely nothing and is just a marketing buzzword, plus the hardware in the top-of-the-line iMacs can't max a game at 1080p, let alone the full 2560x1536 of the 27-inch model. Again, incredibly overpriced.
Eyes don't process in FPS, so that's invalid.
Macs are not better than Windows hardware wise for sure, many techy people would be using OS X though if Apple didn't lock everything to their hardware and actually released drivers for updated hardware.

Neckbeards! Doctor Cichocki does not approve of stupidity and neither do I, stop the spread of damned useless rules!

This advice seems so stupid in so many ways I'm not even sure if I should take this necro seriously.
I am not giving bad info! Some of the iMacs and Mac Pros that you buy at apple aren't always good, but you can just make one with any freaking specs you want! And also, I have an 8 year old macbook, 2 gb RAM, i5 dual-core processor, with 1280 by 800 graphics, and I can get over 150 fps!Making a computer like that won't be that expensive if you buy the right parts, and they will last for at least 10 years!
The human eye can process data very fast, it's the brain that slows it all down. But when your heart rate spikes the brain shuts down non essential stuff so it can concentrate on the task at hand (which is why cops report getting tunnel vision when trying to shoot people, and why people see serious threats to their life (ie a guy with a knife) in slow motion sometimes). Screens generally only refresh at 60fps (or sometimes 120). Youtube videos play at 30 FPS, movies at 24FPS (with the new Hobbit being recorded in 48FPS).

i5s weren't around 8 years ago, they came out in 2009. Computers lasting 10 years. Well, if you're talking about longevity, of course they will. Pretty much any non-cheaped-out-on PC will. Pretty much any PC that's 10 years old will be obsolete however. No, you can't make an iMac with whatever specs you want. If you say that's the truth, find me one with an i5-3550 and 7970.
Your laptop can get such a high framerate because a) you're running it at a low resolution and b ) it isn't as old as you think.

I am ninja'd far too often.
I am pretty sure you are safe with one of those, I have a ShitBoxWare and have no trouble running it with no lag at all
However, the best option is definitely to build your own desktop.
They are
-Overpriced
-Overheat (To the point of melting)
-Shitty build quality
-Bad Customer Service
Want the best gaming computer for the least amount of money? Build a desktop. It's really easy.

Do you even know what a human eye looks like?
