I plan to get a new desktop computer because mine lags a lot with minecraft.
I searched up products and found this $480 dollar computer.
Is this computer a good value and how well will it run minecraft?
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, as I need this information as soon as possible.

It's not the greatest... But you won't really get much better. Would you be open to building your own? Or would you rather have a prebuilt?
Also, what exactly is your budget? Does that include the monitor and Windows?
I would rather have one prebuilt, because I'll propably spend more in getting all the parts and. And there also is the trouble of actually building it. I wouldn't get a computer more than $600. I know that I will not get that far with that amount...
It comes with windows 8, and I own a monitor already.
Can you tell me what part of the system could be better, and comment on the processor, RAM, graphics card, etc. this computer has
It's actually cheaper to build your own computer in most cases. You can get a computer that's actually fairly decent. And it's easy to build your own.
The computer you linked is using an APU, which is a combination of the Graphics card and the Processor. It's alright. It's also a no name HDD and PSU, which are probably likely to fail.
If you would like, I can give you a list of the parts and a tutorial on how to assemble it if you are up for building your own.

If you can come up with the extra money, that will do very, very well for your budget. IIRC, it can max Skyrim.
If you can't, go with this:

Retired StaffI avoided it mostly cause I have no clue about cheaper AMD motherboards.
