    Quote from arblox360

    this is exactly what i mean by i need some help
    what else do i need for it?

    Skilled team members, years of time, a vision of a game worth making which will sell, a minimum of a few thousands of dollars ( Possibly hundreds of thousands or even millions ) to pay those people, marketing, etc.

    Making a game is much, much more then grabbing a few people off an internet forum and putting in a few hours of time to code it, it's nowhere near that simple. If it was everyone and anyone would have a good looking, enjoyable game out already. You first of all need to learn at least some basic programing and get enough money to pay skilled people to actually code a game which will work and sell, chances are anyone from an internet forum who is willing to work for free for hours and hours to try and make this game a reality is going to have a low skill level and produce unsatisfactory work.

    For ultimate gaming experience, take what Champ suggested, add an Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card, a Logitech G700 mouse and AKG K601 headphones.
    There's not enough PCI-E slots on the motherboard to add the sound card without weird extension cables and an external solution would be better then the STX because of higher levels of electromagnetic interference inside the computer then on the outside. Also, why not HD 800s?

    Quote from Champ0807

    The part about interference is true, shielding on sound cards usually only happens on small parts of the PCB which for a discrete sound card does next to nothing for the audio quality of a sound card because there are almost small gaps in the shielding through which interference can travel, and sometimes the back of the PCB is completely exposed, making the other shielding irrelevant.

    Think about it this way, you can place a small panel in a pool of water to replicate what is done for internal sound cards and the PCB separation for integrated motherboard solutions, if you drop a big enough rock into the pool it will overflow the barrier and interfere with the water on the other side anyways either by going vertically up through the air and landing on the opposite side or by the ripples in the pool which are caused. Electromagnetic interference travels in waves which go 360 degrees from the source, not just flat along something like the PCB, so because of this unless your audio solution is 100% sealed off from the rest of your components you will still have at least small amounts of interference. By removing the audio solution and sealing it almost completely off you would need an enormous rock with a very specific trajectory to hit the pool of water and shoot the water into an almost completely sealed pool several meters away similarly to what happens with separated audio equipment and electromagnetic interference.

    Quote from creeperskelly

    If you don't get a dedicated graphics card you are wasting your money.

    You don't need a $1,000 card for Minecraft - get a $40 used GTX260 and it will be more than enough.

    You probably won't get better than 30FPS with any onboard graphics.
    AMD A10-APUs can max easily Minecraft with the integrated graphics( 60FPS / Maximum Setting / 1080p ) and the dedicated altermative would be wasting money.

    What happens if when your used GPU is dead? If you purchased through Craigslist you're out $40 and if you purchased through eBay you will be forced to waste time filling out forms and making claims to PayPal or eBay for the slim hope you get a replacement or a refund in who knows how long.

    Quote from kingofksa123

    hey i was watching and i saw someone with 500fps and i want a pc or laptop like this
    if i can build one tell me the parts
    (if its already made without building that would be better)
    and i dont care about money because i am the money
    Anything over 60FPS will most likely be wasted because your monitor will most likely only have a 60Hz refresh rate, meaning that anything over will not be displayed and cause screen tearing and put an additional, unneeded load on your computer. Even if you did happen to have / buy a 120/144Hz monitor you would still not be able to have all of the desired frames displayed. I recommend using VSYNC if you are experiencing frame rates over your monitors refresh rate to fix this.

    In terms of the computer itself this is an unnecessary and unneeded goal to have ( And you can build a computer which can play Minecraft at 60FPS on high settings for $450-$500 ), however if you really have no budget ( Which I seriously doubt ) I would buy the components in the link below, put them in a Case Labs Magnum T10, and install a custom liquid cooling loop with waterblocks for the CPU, motherboard, GPUs, and possibly the memory as well. Add in static pressure optimized fans for push-pull configurations on the largest radiators you can fit in the chassis, add a few high power pumps throughout the loop to keep the coolant flowing, and enjoy your high frame rates in one of the least demanding modern games on the market.

    Quote from summersquad

    http://www.ibuypower...Q-Gaming-Laptop great one for many games, this will last you for years, although a laptop this powerful is not necessary.
    or alienware but I recommend iBuypower over alienware by lots BUT alienware has Windows 7 on it
    Please don't recommend iBuyPower or Alienware, both companies overprice their products and Alienware offers especially poor cooling in a space that has excellent cooling potential if they would stop focussing on including flashy LEDs and making a large profit over the quality of their products. A laptop such as the Y510p from Lenovo would be better for the price compared to the laptop you suggested but a laptop with an AMD A10 APU would be more then sufficient for the needs of the OP.

    Are you looking for something very compact such as the Silverstone FT-03 Mini / Cubitek Mini-Cube / Mini-Box M350 / EVGA Hadron Air or something a bit larger with more cooling potential such as the Bitfenix Prodigy / Phenom series chassis?

    You know, so you can hurt yourself twice as much when you trip and fall onto your desk / windowsill / wherever the cacti are, make food while you have a long gaming session, and have a separate solder re-flow oven to avoid sicknesses such as lead poisoning.

    Quote from Brandmaner

    So still wondering what I should do about a build. I won't have the money until March or so. But I'd like to get a good idea of what I will be getting. Any help is greatly appreciated. I need pretty much everything though. I decied I will get a monitor since I will have a desk.. I would like at least a 20" but maybe bigger if price is good. And my budget has been moved to around 800-1000$ just really depends on the bang for the buck. THANKS!
    We really can't make any good recommendations right now, chances are very high that the parts and prices for those parts will have changed significantly over several months so if you can come back in March / whenever you have the money and are prepared to make the purchase we will be able to help you get the best computer for the price.

    also will case fans be a good idea???? or theyll be doing nothing at all and taking up space?

    and whats a thermal compound?
    Case fans can be a good addition to a case to help bring cool air into the case and exhaust warm air. Usually fans will have little arrows to indicate the direction of the airflow. I would recommend intaking cool air through the front / bottom of the case and exhausting air out the top / rear.

    Thermal compound is a material put onto heatsinks to transfer heat more effectively between the CPU / other component and the cooler attached. This will come pre-applied to the stock cooler for your CPU however if you do need to take it off for whatever reason clean off the old compound and install around a pea sized dot in the middle of the CPU, a fairly large tube of thermal compound such as Arctic Silver 5 should only be around $5.

    Also, not to mention that your temps can't be cooler than the room temperature unless you have water cooling.
    You still won't be able to get the coolant temperature under the room temperature because the coolant relies on the air in the room to dissipate the heat to, you would need to use exotic cooling such as LN2 that does not rely on dissipating the heat to the surrounding air to get temperatures below.

    It is not the reference cooler, but it is a reference cooler.
    Yeah, I just realized that EVGA slapped the Titan cooler onto a GTX 770, so sorry about that, my mistake.

    by gpu do you mean the processor or the graphics card also i checked out your build looks cool and what is overclock how do you do it and what does it affect (heat temperature, performance, etc...)?
    GPU stands for graphics processing unit, so it would be the graphics card.

    Overclocking is making components going faster then they are shipped which results in slightly better performance but more heat, please for the love of whatever you believe in do NOT try to go into the settings and fiddle with things that you have no or next to no idea what they effect. If done incorrectly overclocking can destroy major components in your computer.
    Quote from Angoril

    In general, when you get a graphics card, it's the second to last the number that makes the difference. anything from 5 and below is mostly inappropriate for gaming, 6 is the "entry" and 9 is the best.
    So this is bad because it has a 5 in the numbering? http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814127734

    You can't just use the product scale numbering to determine how well a graphics card will perform because even speaking in general there's so much more to it then the numbers, architecture, brand, generation, if the card is factory overclock, custom cooling, how well the cooling solution performs, if the GPU has a thermally effected boost clock, the quality of components, etc. In fact even just going by the numbers the first is quite possibly the most important because it will tell you what generation of the product and therefore it will also ( Usually ) tell you the architecture.
