Very nice gaming rig you have there. I just sold my gaming rig a little over two months ago. I tapped out of the PC master race. I was having nothing but problems with my Dell. And I called support at least 10 times in a year. It kept freezing and dropping internet connection :bhow: and I had a

• Dell XPS 8900
• I5 6400 2.7ghz
• 16gb of ram
• GTX 960 4gb
• 1TB hard drive OS
• 4tb hard drive games
• Windows 10
• and stock power supply

And now I have an email machine that plays Minecraft well. You don't need much of a computer to play Minecraft.

And now to make a fool of myself with my little old school gaming rig.

• AMD FX 8230, 8 core 3.5 ghz
• 8gb of ram
• 1 tb hard drive, 7200
  
• GeForce GTX 750, the 2 fan, two gig model like only one other person has.
• Gigabyte mb of some variety, I forget it's model but it's the cheapie
  
• Windows 10

But it still runs Minecraft just fine! I actually think it's an alright computer for $600 given I bought it 4ish years ago.

That's still a great computer if you're just using it for Minecraft and browsing the web. The only time you need a killer gaming PC is if you plan on running the latest games on High or Max graphics.

Here's my computer specs. I am currently using Windows 10, a free upgrade from Windows 8.
Minecraft runs smoothly on it. I am considering to upgrade in a year or two depending on other games.
Minecraft also works on my 4-year old laptop although I find it a pain to play with a small 14 inch screen.

• Acer XB270HU bprz 27-inch
• i5 4690
• MSI GTX970 4G Gaming
• ADATA SP900 256GB
• Western Digital Blue 1TB
• Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 16GB (8GB*2)

HOLY SHMEGERRIN" cow! That's a good rig sir Admin! Daaammnnnnnn! I bet it cost you so much when you bought that gaming rig. And I also bet you can play almost everything on that monster. GTX 960 holy macaroni. Hahahaha. And those RAMs.. delicious! But the power supply is kind of risky though. :/

Oyy! This one is also a monster gaming computer! Not everyone has that set-up. I actually know a lot of people who still have lower specs than that. But that one can run almost any games low-medium settings.

Right. If it's for Minecraft then it's fine. You can even run it without GPU by just using the integrated graphics of your motherboard. I haven't tried it though but for sure it will run just fine.

 

[Vennybunny]

I have an i5 and a 920mx, with 8gig of ram. I play mine craft predominantly because it doesn't take that much battery from my laptop, especially when I'm on a trip.

 

[fireball916]

I just upgraded my PC recently. It's not a beast but it runs minecraft just fine. I have a i5 7500, 16GB RAM, and a cheap 2GB AMD graphics card I got for a penney on Amazon. I think it's a r7 420 or something like that. I also play sometimes on my MacBook Pro, runs okay on that too but gets kinda hot pretty fast.

It does get the job done. As I posted in another thread, the way I tend to play is I run two instances of the game. One is just for connecting to the public server I'm playing on, the other is for connecting to my private multi-world server which runs off my box as well. I usually have a little left over for having my browser and Steam open so I really cannot complain. More than anything I need to invest in a SSD as for HD intensive games like Minecraft that quickly becomes a bottleneck and I do feel the pinch. Truthfully, though, I know next to nothing about how well SSDs handle multiple requests and the like so I don't actually know if the way I play will lead to appreciable gains or not.

I personally think that SSD is the way to go. I have one and I really felt the difference. The game pops up fast and is very smooth because I have installed it on my SSD. And also, my OS is on my SSD so it makes it even more smoother. You can put your most-played game and applications but do not overpopulate the SSD.

I know SSD's are super fast but I am waiting for the prices to come down to a reasonable amount. I am just not ready to pay $320 for a 1TB SSD. I will think about it when the price drops to $150. Until then I am going to stick to my standard mechanical hard drive.

 

[Xilkozuf]

I have a laptop currently (planning on build a new pc soon! In a year or more... need to save money), so the basic specs are those:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
RAM 8.0 GB
Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit

It's a pretty nice PC, and Minecraft can run on it without problem - the same with many other games, maybe not the recent stuff.

 

[CBL28]

A laptop that can usually run Minecraft without a problem.
CPU: Intel i3 3217U 1.8 GHz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 10, 64-Bit

Agreed. I am currently using a SSD as well but I only have two games on it. It helps to load fast on online games especially when you are playing some form of multiplayer games. My Minecraft is located on my other normal hard drive since I play it alone.

This is what has stopped me from taking the plunge, too. I love gaming but that's just a lot of cash for slightly better loading times. In Minecraft a speedy hard drive is more important than a lot of other games since there's so much on the fly disc reading. But I just keep thinking "$300ish dollars for a little extra speed...OR like 5 or 6 additional games in my library!". The extra games just keep winning out.

 

[zeedollar]

Mine is a portable hp dm4 laptop and i love it

runs on:
Window 10 pro, 64bit
intel Core i3 2.3GHz
8GB Ram, 500HDD
Intel HD Graphics 3000

 

[wallet]

Mine is not quite performant as what I have sen here but I will share it with you!
Windows 7, 64bit
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz
4.00 GB RAM

Wahaha. I understand your sentiment. I also feel the same way. I ain't buying 1TB SSDs no way! But I'd save up for the lower versions one like the 320GB or something.

 

[McB Carino]

I'm happy to share what mine is. My personal computer specs are Windows 7, 64bit Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz
6.00 GB RAM. My operating system is not updated but this I am familiar with. Originally my RAM is just 4 GB but I decided to upgrade and add 2 GB more and the result was amazing. It's not logging every time I opened different browser at once.
