I need a new computer but I only have $400 to spend on it. I already have a monitor and a case and a 600W Corsair PSU, I also have a mouse and a keyboard.

Can someone put up a decent build that will run minecraft at a decent fps.
 
CPU: AMD A8-3870K 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($109.98 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock A55 PRO3 ATX FM1 Motherboard ($74.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston HyperX 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($24.74 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS224-06 DVD/CD Writer ($18.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit) ($90.70 @ Amazon)
Total: $369.39

APU's benefit quite a bit from higher frequency RAM, so that's why I picked the 1866MHz RAM.

This build uses an AMD Processor with integrated graphics.

go for 8gb 1333mhz...
rest is good, you'll not get very much with 400$. But with this build, you can still get a gpu later

Can I ask you a question? Why is it that you and the user that started this thread Randome have the same IP address? You also share that IP address with another user named _controlling.

huh, yeah you do. Our system logs what IP address you have registered your account with. Both of you have registered your accounts with the same IP address.
