What PC do you have / what are your specs?

[This discussion would be better suited in the off-topic section]

That really depends on your budget.
My PC that can run most games at 1080p Medium was around $1700USD

Spec List:

• Ryzen 5 2600
• 16gb 2666MHz DDR4 RAM
• RX570 8gb

With the recent release of Ryzen 3rd Gen the Ryzen 5 3600 is the best value CPU you can get for gaming & light content creation.
As for GPU I'd say any type of GTX 1660 (GTX 1660S, GTX 1660Ti) is the best value GPU, I chose Nvidia because I've only ever had issues with AMD cards.


Keep in mind that these specs are way overkill for just Minecraft.
If you want just a Minecraft machine for 60fps honestly just find any decent OEM PC from 2012 for like $100usd most and just use the iGPU

 

My pc runs almost everything and I spent like 1500$ on it i5-9400f Gtx 1660 8gb ddr4 240gb ssd 1tb hdd

 

My old pc was around £300 and could run most games (GTA, overwatch, etc.) at 30fps, I've since upgraded it so I can compile and render stuff faster for my work.
People say 30fps is terrible and that you should aim for 60fps, but honestly, I can't tell the difference myself.

Here were the specs from the top of my head:
Intel Core i3-10100
AMD RX 570
(Harddrive I can't name)
(8 GB of ram that I can't name)

 

To run Minecraft you don't really need great specs on your pc. It's really just your budget. If I were you I would find your budget and then look for parts.Building your pc of course saves a lot of money. Just keep in mind if you want to end up recording/streaming Minecraft or any game you are gonna need better specs. Have a great day!

I have:
Intel Core i9-9900k
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super
16GB of ram

It's kind of overkill for Minecraft, but I play many other games

My pc specs are:
GPU: Gtx 1070
CPU: i7-8700
Ram: 16gb

I purchased a prebuilt from alienware about a couple years ago.

I would try to invest in a decent gpu that doesn't bottleneck with your cpu. I'm not the most educated when it comes to pc parts but I believe the gpu affects your fps a lot more than your cpu does.

 

I just bought an alienware aurora r9 a few months ago, it has an rtx 2070 with an i7 and 16 gb ram
