that translates to about..
726 US dollars? what? terrible.

i can play minecraft about 29 fps on far and 45+ fps on normal. i have a gt 610, you should be fine.

Here's somebody playing Minecraft at maximum with the same graphics card:

I'm not sure about his CPU though.

What do you mean by terrible? Like, what about this is terrible?

that price is pretty high for that build.

It's not all that bad, you can buy different brands for a better price and performance though

So, that is a better GPU on that MSI?

I have no idea about how good a GPU is for gaming, lawl.

also i have a question op, why not get a desktop if you have 800 bucks, you can get even better performance.
