    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 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.
