I posted a tread about two weeks ago about buy R9 295x2. I did some digging and what i found is Vram, ram and CPU are the most important to play Minecraft with Shaders. I will also be using Xsplit to record which is cpu or gpu but i always go for cpu.

This is the new build

MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming Edition 8192MB
AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 9590 Black Edition 4.70GHz
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z AMD 990FX
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full Tower Case - Black
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
Kingston HyperX Fury Red 32GB
Corsair Hydro H105 240mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Kingston 240GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM

My other build was with intel 4790k
Will the 4790k going to be able play minecraft with 512x512 with shaders whilst recording with xsplit??

I don't know if this is true but a resource pack maker work out that I will use 3.2 VRAM with shaders and 512x512 resource pack. Thats with the R295x2 was no good to me.

Please help??

Thank You

If you think a 4GB card will be enough you can get X99 for the same price as above and that will give you more CPU power,

Are they roughly on budget?

Do you have a 64bit OS?
 
Wow Stulid you have helped me again!thanks a lot dude!!!!!! The second build will be the best for me because I also play skyrim so i need the 8GB.

Just a quick question if i am using xsplit to record gameplay is 4 cores going to be ok cuz I have 6 at the moment with the AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T black edition?? because thats the only thing thats pushing me more to a amd build rather than intel

Thanks for your advice again dude!
 
Did you read the benchmark comparison between 9590 and 4790k, stulid posted? It's a no brainer. h105 will give you enough room to OC!
 
There is not any compelling reason to go for an FX if you can afford an i7.

The i7 4790K has hyperthreading so is 8 threads.
