Hi There , I currently have a budget of $300 dollars and I would like to buy a computer that runs Minecraft with excellent fps , this pc I want is only for Minecraft nothing else. Could someone please help me out. I need enough fps to pvp Lot no lag

You're not going to get "Excellent FPS" for $300.

You're not easily going to get "Good FPS" for $300.

Unless you're planning on playing on lowest settings. And if you plan on building. But even so, Windows is $120 by itself.

I'll look around, but unless you buy used or get a higher budget I don't think I'm going to find anything.

CPU – AMD A10-6800K APU 3.6GHz
Motherboard – MSI A55M-E33
RAM – Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB
HDD – Western Digital 250 GB
Case – Rosewill Dual Fans
Power Supply – Antec VP-450
Optical Drive – (Install O.S. from USB drive)

How would this run Minecraft ?

It would run. Just not very well at higher settings. But, for a computer that you never really want to upgrade, it's not that bad.

But that's still going to cost $375+ if I'm not mistaken. OS is $120 for retail Windows 10.

If you want it just for Minecraft, get a Pentium G3258 + GTX 750 Ti.

It's a bit over your budget, but you're getting a lot more performance. It'll run minecraft easily on Max settings

I would agree, but it's over budget before an OS.

Well Linux is free...

If you want Windows, you're either going have to pay $90 for a legit copy, or pirate it/get it off g2a

#nopirateshere

It's $90 for OEM(Permanently on that computer) or $120 for Retail(Transferable)

With Optifine and only 8 render? Well over 100. Even on Fancy.
