So I want a good computer, but I have no idea what one to chose. My current computer runs Minecraft at 30 FPS on average, so I think I might need an upgrade (I have a 2013 Apple MacBook Air.) Any help would be much appreciated!

It is impossible to upgrade a laptop. The only thing you can really upgrade is the hard disk drive and RAM. I reccomend building instead. Budget please

There was a computer dating back to Adam and Eve. An apple, and a very bad one at that, it only took 1 byte to crash everything.

The reason I said computer specs is because if I was to build my own computer, I would like some information on specs for it. My budget is about $1,500 USD. I will not upgrade my computer, but I will build my own computer or buy a good one. Any ideas? Thanks!

For any game that isn't Arma 3 really. An i7 will only get maybe 1-2 FPS more than an i5.

I am willing to pay that much, but I am just wondering, would it be any good?
Just go with Edya's build.
