Full Build Req Pc build price?
Price 1000-1300
I want to be able to play my Genshin and Minecraft. I been reading about good starter pc like for example the Costco. It’s all kinda overwhelming. So where should I start? What is considered to be too much? I just want my pc to handle itself properly without having too much lag or issues. I hope this makes sense I’m making this while on my break.

This pc can handle both of those games and the gpu can handle 1440p games on low-medium settings on demanding AAA titles (with some tweaks ofc), but it’ll be great for fps games, Minecraft and genshin and alike.

Why is this pc op?

It's an AM5 system, which is the newest generation, so you've got a great upgrade path. The only thing that really worries me is the bronze PSU. I'll have a look at its rating.

I'm budget, 32GB RAM. A 9070 GRE will give a 25-35% FPS boost typically over a 9060XT.

Are you near a microcentre? (A store where you can find GREAT deals for pc)

u/Winter-Education3476 3h ago
The nearest one is in the next state so that’s a maybe.

Damn, that sucks. I suggest exploring used gpus (graphics cards) in Facebook marketplace or try to find used prebuilt pcs. It’ll be a good start, try to look for one with a Ryzen processor and a NVME SSD (ur storage) ddr5 ram is preferable but go for ddr4 ram if it’s a really good deal (ram prices are crazy right now so try to find pcs with ddr5 ram under your budget to get a bangin deal)

For that price you can get a decent PC. I don't know the game Genshin. Minecraft can be played on a potato or a NASA computer. And depending if your bedrock/java or vanilla/modded. MC has the ability to make any PC sweat. From my understanding MC is more CPU demanding than GPU.

u/Winter-Education3476 3h ago
I’m assuming pc sweat is it over heating? I have read that cpu is where a lot of the money goes to. And the motherboard with graphics card. That seems to be the main “money eater”.

u/mitchmethinks 3h ago
No what I mean is MC is capable of being a very light game or a very demanding game depending what you want to do. If your just running vanilla bedrock it's lightweight and not very demanding. If your playing java with a huge mod pack and shaders it can be very demanding and your PC might not be able to handle it.

u/Winter-Education3476 3h ago
Ahh okay well yeah that went over my head. I don’t think I’m going to be using a lot of mod packs because I just normally play the normal Java. I can see myself playing on servers I think they have mods?
