What's computer parts for BLOCKLAND

[KickFlow]

That can run blockland on High/max with little to lag at all? (Of course with tons of bricks)

I'm getting a job soon and I think I'm ready to ditch the laptop.

I don't really have a price but try to keep it low, I'm only 16 and it's a part time job. ;)

Also, it's not only for blockland, for other games aswell! But mainly blockland.(Meaning a universal all around good computer i guess)

Trying to build my own computer.

What's your limit?

What's your limit?

I'd try staying under 1 grand.

Maybe in the 700 range, I guess.

Wouldn't this belong in Off-topic

Well, I would like to know whats a powerful computer for blockland, as that's the main game I play.

I suppose it could.

Not going to get a good stock PC that can run max shaders for that little.
You could try doing this if you want some pretty awesome performance for the price. With the leftover cash, you can get a good keyboard/mouse and monitor, too.

 If you're not up for building a PC, (It's pretty easy) you could try buying a $700 PC and slapping in a GTX 660-range card w/ some extra cooling. (And power supply, if it's nessesary) If you do that, though, you should make sure that the mobo and such are compatible. I understand that you wanted a stock computer, but I can't stress enough that the performance difference between a PC like the one I linked earlier and a stock one will be huge.

Either way, I would suggest consulting the Tom's Hardware forum.

This is pretty good http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-8700/pd however the GPU I think is a laptop GPU. The problem with stock PCs is that they almost never give you a good graphics card (unless you shop like alienware or the gaming section on HP which has PCs as low as $900..). You either get a very powerful CPU like an i7 3700 but then a very weak GPU like an AMD 8470. The reason why so many gamers build PCs is because it is cheaper compared to something like what Alienware offers and HP (Hp used to be on par with building but now their cheapest gaming PC is $900). When you build a PC you can a combination of something like a DECENT/Good CPU and a DECENT/good GPU, not like a really powerful CPU and then a very weak GPU.

This computer isn't actually that bad. I'd suggest it.

I'd never trust Dell. Ever.

Why do you suggest this? Do you own it and have awesome performance? Do you know someone that has it?

It seems reasonable, just based on it's specifications.

I usually am a supporter of building your own computer. But this seems decent for the price (You won't be able to upgrade it without replacing the power supply, though).

What if I buy a nice computer for like 400-500, then pop one of these in it?

That could work, but I forgot to mention this. The other reason people (gamers) build their own PC is because generally, most computers from stores like HP, dell etc have very low powered power supplies (300w PSUs). The GTX 660ti requires a 450w PSU that also gives out 24amps on a 12v rail. In conclusion, if you get one of those PCs you will need to swap the power supply out which can be very annoying as some companies use different board form factors.

Id suggest now you just build a computer as you will have to remove the power supply and then install a new one, you also may not be 100% it will fit in the case correctly.

Well alright, anyone know parts that work extremely well together so I can build my own? (that meet max shaders and stuff)

Yes. I'll edit in a minute.

Here is a quick list of core parts, though I need to know a couple of things to finish your build.
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533
OS: Windows 7 or Windows 8

This can be done right here if you have an old PC case (An old computer you don't use anymore that you can take the stuff out of and just use it's case), and peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, ect). If you don't have these, tell me what you can and cannot use and I'll adjust the build to include those and stay under the $700 budget.
