get a non crappy card. MC depends heavily on 3D graphics support. It's a fully dynamic 3D CAD program not some game like skyrim with pre-rendering optimizations for a static landscape.
I use a Windows 8.1 and it's memory and storage is fine. I also have my Java settings on auto update so it should always be the latest version.
