[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Cut Glass]

I have been told by other people that I can build a computer in this price range that will play minecraft and blockland decently. Also, almost anything is better than what I have now. I have to play at minimum settings 100% of the time, almost never getting over 100 fps, rarely getting over 70, and most of the time at like 25-35 (maybe lower (its not uncommon to drop into the 12-20 fps range))fps on minimum settings. And I have my OS figured out, don't worry about that.

Also, I'm on a tight budget because I don't have a very good job. :/

Okay well stop asking us if we like your build, it's terrible. Every time someone says it's terrible you post on how your own a tight budget blah blah blah. Then a few pages later you post again. Just Stop. That computer is just terrible.

and for $30 more you can get a 2TB HDD

why the forget do you need a 2tb hdd lol
unless you are making high-quality uncompressed video, 500 - 750 gb should be enough for a gamer

okay guys
so when I install something on a Virtual Machine, or install a linux distro, my entire computer freezes up constantly, and when I even open task manager, nothing happens until like 5 minutes later. What can it be? I'm sorry I cannot be too specific but if you need any details I will list.

why are you running that with one gpu

why are you running that with one gpu

It was just a single test run for a day, i dont even have all those monitors any more. i only have 1. and it ran mostly fine. crysis 3 high preset no lag :D

sounds like an easy way to overheat the GPU if anything

It's not as imperative that a gpu remains at temperature as opposed to a cpu

Hey I am looking for a laptop for school between 350-400. Maybe 450 but that's really pushing it. I found this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/acer-acer-aspire-e1-series-15-6-laptop-black-amd-a4-5000-750gb-hdd-6gb-ram-windows-8-e1-522-5603/10254569.aspx?path=1436b1861903374b970e65953f531535en02&SearchPageIndex=2

I don't know if its good though and I want to make sure to get the best one for the price. Storage doesn't really matter to me. I am mainly looking for one with a good CPU and GPU. Also I live in canada so the stores are a bit different here.

is there anything in particular that you will be doing with the laptop that we should know about while looking for specs?

A decent cpu and gpu. I prefer a quad core cpu but I will take a dual core if necessary. Also I would like the best gpu I can get for the money. Or at least something better then the 5650 in my old laptop.

The games I play always change. But games like battlefield 3 and saints row the third and whatnot.
