Minecraft with Mod Full Rig (£800)

[AccessDenied]

Hi Guys

My sister and nephew want to buy there first gaming PC and I need your help putting it together. Heres the requirements;

This will mostly be used for Minecraft but with Mods (I hear the mods can be pretty heavy). and games such as Dragon Age: Inquistion. Grapics dont need to be ultra, but still run well. They want to record and create gaming videos.

They want a Monitor - pref 24" & standard key & mouse & Win8 OS. Would prefer intel & nvidia.

Budget is £800.

Also, please let us know if its advise to spend a little more based on use, ie; better GFX card, processor or RAM. It wont be overclocked.

We really appreciate your advice.

Are they actually going to buy it as a complete system or are they going to build it?

William-Mathew - I will build it.

 

[Threepwood]

Have you thought about running VM?

They could play together then, at the same time.

Defo this

You mentioned no overclocking, but IIRC Minecraft performance improves greatly with fast cores.

nVidia cards would be a good choice for ShadowPlay.
