I need a good Gaming PC for about $1000. I'm going to be playing a bunch of games, but in general minecraft. As of minecraft, it should be able to play and record at 60fps, and be able to use mods and go on servers at a good fps. Preferably 60fps. BTW, I need PC parts, and the case I want is the http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-760twhite. Thank You.
You will need a 750 for that at least, probably a decen i5 as well maybe? I don't know any more sorry.

CPU: G3258 @ 4.2Ghz 1.25v stock cooler! Oh and it's ~28C right now - Motherboard: ASUS Z97-K - RAM: 12GB - HDD: 256 GB 840 EVO ~560 MB/s R/W and two HDDS in RAID0 - GPU: GTX 750 unfortunately ONLY1427 Mhz PSU: A random 500W one with sleeved cables! - Case: CM Silencio 452. Yes its very quiet NOT ANYMORE
Mouse: Logitech M90 - Keyboard: Logitech K270. Came bundled with a M185 OS: Win10 Pro - Monitor: 3x ASUS 24" 1080p for a total resolution of 5760x1080!
1.Nobody's overclocking,and even if going to,the Hyper 212 EVO won't clock much (remove it or replace it)
2.Shaders are optimized for Nvidia,not Radeon (Change GPU to 970 or any Nvidia GPU)
3.the Corsair CX are cheap parts,and for a 600$ build and highr not worth it (change to evga PSU or high quality ones)
Here's a build

First Problem is locked processor on unlocked motherboard. Second Shaders is not Optimized for either AMD or nVidia. You don't need 750W unless you are planning on SLI with an Overclock. I can't say much on RAM except that 2133MHz is unnecessary in a gaming build. Yes that price is hard to turn down but RAM speeds are only helpful with large renders and APUs.

Don't ask me about prebuilts. The answer is the same. Waste of money.

Actually, shaders doesn't run well with AMD. Nvidia on the other hand runs it pretty well. Look at the 280x vs. the 770 for example.
Here OP. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zYdFpg
(I have never tested any of these parts, and I can therefore never guarantee no faults.)
EDIT: The PSU says that it doesn't have Haswell support. I'm curious to know how it wouldn't?

Actually shaders performance varies from build to build. Two people with the same build can get very different framerates. Also Sonic Ether codes his shaders on AMD Hardware.

Basis suggestion:
i5 3570k
Z77 mobo (or H77 without plan to OC)
8GB DDR3 1600 RAM
1TB 7200 rpm HDD
500W quality PSU (or stronger...depending on your plan of OC or XFire/SLI)
HD7850
WIn7 or Win8 x64 (home should be sufficient...only if you need it)
If you have some budget room...add an SSD 128GB or higher...

a 7850 isn't going to run shaders well. My 7870 GHz only gets about 30-40 Fps on SEUS.

True, but generally shaders run better on Nvidia cards.

Yes its very quietNOT ANYMOREThe build I recommened would do it fine. If he was on a smaller budget a R7 260X with a FX 6300 would have done.

Why such a crappy PSU? Also get a better hard drive.
