Need help building a PC

[Patman]

Hello everyone!

I need to build a gaming pc that I can use to play minecraft, while recording, and/or streaming at the highest settings with a 64x64 texture pack. I would like to keep the price under $700, but I can stretch if necessary. This build needs to include a mouse, keyboard, speakers and monitor. Sorry if this is hard to do with my budget, but as I said, it can be stretched. Thanks guys!

Hmm... that's not too difficult since Minecraft is a relatively low system requirements type of game, but how much of the budget can you stretch?

I'd definitely like to start with our AMD gaming PC build.

To shave off $100 right off the bat, we can go with the HD 7770, which is currently running for $100 after rebate. It'll play Minecraft just fine and a bit more as well.

Amazon.com: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHZ 1 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11201-17-20G: Computers & Accessories

For the motherboard, we can drop down to the GA-970A-DS3 motherboard.

We can also drop the power supply to the Antec VP-450 which will work fine.

With these changes, you should be able to get the system slightly above $600. I wouldn't recommend dropping specs down much farther than that since you're looking to stream and record.

For the monitor you can just got with this ASUS. It'll come with speakers, which will suck but it should hold you over until your budget opens up for better speakers.

Otherwise, a mouse and keyboard I say just go for something cheap until you can afford something decent. I can make some recommendations, but it'll depend on how much budget you have left.

The problem is, some of the parts from the $800 dollar computer are not in stock or simply not there. Could you please give me a link to every part in the build?
Thanks

computer is Minimum this requirements:
Processor: 2 GHz
Memory: 512 MB
Free Space: 1 GB
Screen resolution: 1024x768...
I think you should purchase and you can get this computer on a reasonable price...

Remember those are the minimum requirements and if he is going to be recording the framerate will probably be noticeably lower. Furthermore the screen resolution for recording videos should be preferably 1680x1050 or above.
