Minecraft Forums

So, long story short, I've been craving this game (obviously the title) and I was curious if anyone could point me in the right direction into buying/building a PC. Payments on a PC are okay, rather not build one right now, but it is an option. Just want to get started into the big PC gaming community. Any links to pages/advice would be appreciated. Not even sure what I would need, requirement wise, for the Steam recommendations...?

We'll need a budget + currency.

Budget is around 1400, and USD currency.

Let me know if this is too small of a budget, picking up lots of hours at work to pay for such.

Thanks

And nothing to go off of?

not sure if anything's changed, but back when I played this game, it was insanely unoptimized and ran like crap on my PC.

Anyways, assuming you need an OS and don't need a monitor, here's a good build:
