Do you only play Blockland on PC or do you play other games or plan to other games on your PC? Here are a list of parts from Newegg.com Motherboard: ASRock H77M LGA 115 $70 Processor: Intel core i3 3200 Ivy Bridge (3.3ghz --pretty fast) $120 RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz GSkill $39 Case: NZXT Source 210 $39 DVD Drive: ASUS 24x DVD Drive $19 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 3 7200rpm $79 PSU: CX430w 430W $45 Graphics Card: HIS AMD 7770 $134 OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM $99 Total: $659.91 (without tax, put in your zip code to see how much it is with tax, it will probably be around $30 or so) You got yourself a nice gaming PC right there! You can upgrade your ram to 16GB, you can also upgrade your processor to even an i7 later. --- End quote --- I only play blockland on my computer, Can a graphic card still make it so that I can use shaders to max? |

To be frankly honest, you aren't even missing much from shaders. Shaders at night suck and there isn't much of a difference between medium and high. The improved fps is what I feel is more useful than shaders tbh. But that's my opinion. Your new drivers can be used for something more powerful than BL obviously. |

I would run shaders with 4x AA on Max and I could visit any server without lagging. The AMD 7770 is better than the GTX 550ti so I would say you will be good to go. I suggest building a new PC since your processor is too old and your power supply probably won't give out enough power for your card. The specs I listed you are good quality parts and will be able to run Shaders and probably any other game you throw it, even Far Cry 3. |

Are you saying that night time without shaders look or even better? Nighttime with shaders off just seems like every brick lost its color, all the bricks turn black and then you have textures that are glowing in the dark on top of that. U cray cray? |

He obviously isn't the best with computers, don't advise him into doing things that he has no need for otherwise he'll go on to perpetuate false knowlege, 8GB of RAM is all you'll need for quite a long time |
