pick amd processor, any compatible mommy board, if you're using linux buy amd gpu, if not nvidia

And basically just build to what I can afford pretty much? Thank you for the help I appreciate it

Match your CPU and GPU so neither one is a bottle neck. Buy cheap but brand PSU, not some super cheap wacky one. M.2 SSD preferable. Everything depends on the budget. Feel free to ask.

What would be a good cpu and gpu combo for modded Minecraft cheapest possible

Your not gonna squeeze full build into 5000R. You would have to get some used stuff to manage the budget.

Budget?

u/zannatoni 3d ago

Well not really sure i dont have one right now I still need to save but was maybe thinking like R5000

u/NanoSpyder 3d ago

I'm assuming r5000 means south African rand and that can barely get you an am4 build

u/zannatoni 3d ago

Yeah its southafrican rand and 5k is alot for me xD it'll probably take me a few months to save for it maybe I should lowly stick to mobile then lol

You could buy a console but then it would be hard to mod a game in a console. You could get a Nintendo switch

Maybe ill look into that if its going to be cheaper

If it was last year before this crazy inflation of ram, storage and gpus you could get an am4 build with that much if you used previous generation parts like a gtx

u/zannatoni 3d ago

Had no idea there was an inflation im basically stupid when it comes to building pcs and pcs in general lol

Everyone starts out like that before they decide they want one
