hi guys and girls
i want to do a cheap build for my little girl and as the title says this is all she wants it for and i was wondering if these parts would be ok and if you have any suggestions as to ram and anything else i need i would be most greatfull many thanks

Intel Celeron G1620 2.70GHz Socket 1155 2MB

MSI H61M-P20 (G3) Socket 1155 VGA DVI 8 Channel Audio mATX Motherboard

Amera Case Pink Girls Micro Atx Pc Case

a 400 watt psu


and a palit 8400gs graphics card
 
Would get a better GPU for minecraft :)

EDIT : An APU build would probably come to better value... also, just use the normal font next time mate :)
 
Yeah, that Celeron will not be too happy. I assume you want Minecraft running at 30 fps? If so, invest in an APU.
 
thanks for the feedback guys my budget would be about 100 to 150
ive already got a psu and a hdd already out of my old machine

im sorry for being a bit dumb here but could you tell me what an APU is please

its a cpu with a gpu onboard.


CPU: AMD 5350 2.05Ghz Quad-Core Processor (£38.39 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock AM1B-M Micro ATX AM1 Motherboard (£22.06 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Kingston Fury Series 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£30.89 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £91.34
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
^that is what I came up with.
 
thanks for your help barnsley i will take that on board so i dont need a separate gpu with that then if i understand you correctly
 
A apu isent a good idea since java (mincraft) is coded for a single cpu core APU's dont realy have good single threaded perfomance.

No, you'll be ok with that APU (CPU+GPU) it's one of the new AMD Kabini Processors which comes with the Radeon R3 8400 discrete graphics processor built in, also utilises the very same "Jaguar" CPU cores found in the latests consoles. All in all a top processor for budget builds.

This is probably the best you can get and then add in a case to house it all in. I hope you have a spare keyboard/mouse/windows license you can use. Otherwise it will end up costing you a lot more.
