Advice on 1st Gaming PC

Hi Overclockers,

I am getting ready to buy my first gaming pc. But before i do i need advice on what to get, so hopefully if i mention what i want it for i could be advised what to get.

Mainly i want it to play Minecraft but not the original version more to the version of Feed The Beast (Mindcrack/Ultimate) mods. Want to start my own lets play series and at the moment im only a non gaming laptop which struggles at tiny view and i dont get that full experience of minecraft due to restrictions, also texture packs i cant have so it be nice to have a texture pack. Other game i want to play is like Simcity, as you can tell im more of a creative games person. I wont be needing for games like battlefield or anything with high intense graphics due to being a console gamer.

As there is no min specs anywhere on mods like this its hard to choose a pc that fits around the game, so i need help?

A pre-built one, like in the bundles i have seen on here. Spend anything upto £500. Thats what im looking for is something that's not over the top super powerful because i probably wont use it to its full potential. I just need something that runs it smoothly. I am just worried that i get just a basic gaming pc and find out i still cant play it on far view or normal view without it lagging.

never heard of optifine just looked it up and thought why didnt i think of this. I like the look of this pc looks nice, doesnt say what graphics card it is though. The onboard graphics directx11 graphics dont mean nothing to me.
