Would This PC Build Max Out Minecraft

Yes, at 1080p that should be plenty imo.

But get the

430W PSU from Newegg for $30 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9058&cm_re=corsair_psu-_-17-139-058-_-Product
Intel G2030 for the same price ($60) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116924&cm_re=cpu-_-19-116-924-_-Product
Gigabyte Motherboard for $32 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...28619&cm_re=motherboad-_-13-128-619-_-Product

Then with what you save (without performance penalty) get the R9 270X, a much better card than the R7 260 - for same overall budget http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...571&cm_re=graphcs_card-_-14-131-571-_-Product

Plus you get $100 gaming voucher...

Much better performance in gaming, same budget.

Could you make this build on PCPartPicker and link me to it? My Gmail Account is all screwed up, so it won't let me register.

Just search for the products he listed on Newegg on whatever site you want to buy them on.

Well, I won't be able to buy them for a month or two and so I want to keep them organized. But I'll make a Note Pad or something for it. Is the processor he suggested better than the one I was getting?

OK, so here's all the specs I gathered from all that:

Sound good? How much would it cost? And could it run Minecraft at max settings?
 
Itll max out minecraft at 1080p. Its the same cost as your other build if you buy on newegg, i just moved the budget around.

Thank you so much for all of your help!
 
What I can say is that the GPU you have chosen is enough for any of the latest games at 1080p. What I cannot guarantee is that with all the modifications possible, textures etc. that your configuration will run flawlessly. No one can. But, if any computer can do it that one will.

The other issue is, you have 2 RAM slots. If you are going to add another 4GB that will mean removing BOTH 2GB RAM modules and adding 2 x 4GB RAM modules to get 8GB in dual channel mode. I have chosen 2 x 2GB (4GB total) to maintain dual channel, however if you are planning on getting another 4GB, you are best off getting a single 4GB stick now and adding another later.

OK, here's the final build (changed the OS to Win 7): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XJZ3mG
 
No problems. Just ensure you update the motherboard BIOS when you get your system up and running and take it slow when building. If you have any dramas or questions, stop in here at CF and we will sort it..

One more question (sorry, want to make sure of things), which OS do you think I should get?
 
Window 8.1 will allow for Direct X 12 in the future (with a compatible graphics card), but apart from that and the learning curve, they're pretty similar. Id go for 8.1 if I were you.
 
It really is a coin toss for most people, but I'd rather use XP than 8.1 these days.
So many small things that annoy me about 8.1. I'm used to 7, where I can click Start -> 'Calc' and it opens a calculator. Do it again, and it opens a new calculator. On 8.1, it switches focus to the already opened calculator. Unacceptable.
