Hello guys its PurpleTurkey 
Over the course of the last 4-5 months, I have been studying a lot about PC's and how to build them! During that time, I actually built myself one, and I even became the computing teacher (on this server). I know a lot of MC players usually don't play minecraft on the best of computers, usually just laptops and that leads to some pretty bad gameplay. I myself use to play on a dying (very old) Mac, which would get around 30 fps on the lowest settings. I have created a parts list for a budget PC that would ACE minecraft and generally would be great for gaming... Here is the link (click link).
Parts Review -
CPU - Pentium g4560 - Normally, the pentium and Celeron lineup get a pretty bad reputation, as they had less cores compared to i3's and i5's (yes, also i7), but that changed with the g4560. What really set pentiums apart from i3's was hyperthreading. The g4560 has 2 physical cores, but thanks to the hyper threading, it has 4 logical cores. From my experiences the g4560 has been an absolute power house for minecraft, and it zips through small tasks. Though it's possible you could opt cheaper, this is probably the best budget cpu .
CPU Cooler - The g4560 is not overclockable and the stock heatsink it comes with should be fine (though you can hear some noises at full load).
Motherboard - For the mother board I chose a cheap b250 motherboard. It supports LGA1151 and allows you to be able to upgrade from the g4560 to any newer i3, i5, or i7. There are cheaper/normal LGA1151 boards, but many require BIOS flashing which may not be easy. This motherboard in particular supports an m.2 ssd which is great if you are using a smaller case.
RAM - Ram is ram, and for this build I wanted to have a single 8gb stick to be able to play most games, and have future expansion. Currently the ram in the parametric filter is ddr4-2400. For the mother board that was selected 2400, is the fastest speed that can be used. Only 2133, and 2400 are recommended (for this specific motherboard).
Storage - Storage is the 'large number of gigabytes' in which your applications and OS are stored. For many budget builds hard drives are chosen as you can get 1 terabyte for around $50. However, I wanted to choose an ssd, as they can be much faster and completely silent.
Graphics Card - The graphics card is the part of the computer that displays what your computer processes. Things that affect their performance is how much VRAM they one might have, and the speed of its board (to name a few). The graphics card I have chosen is the gtx 1050, which is one of the best 2gb cards for its price. This guy should be able to run minecraft at over 100fps on max. Another great edition, is that this series (including the gtx 1050 ti 4gb) does not need any external power connecters. It gets all its power from the PCIE lane (where you put it on the motherboard) and works great with old, or low wattage power supplies.
Case - Many people think that cases for computers are just for 'flash' and though a lot are, they also serve an important purpose. Besides static, dust can be one of your components worst enemies. Good quality cases & cable management can make your PC last longer. In this PC I choose a pretty standard case, but it should have enough room for all your parts & cables.
Power Supply - Power supplies can be considered the one of the most important part in a build.- after all they power it! Power supplies range typically from 400 watts + to over 100 watts. They come in many sizes, though this build uses a pretty standard one. Like other components, power supplies have their own vocabulary. First off is 'standard', 'semi-modular/semi', and 'modular/fully modular'. Standard power supplies come with fully built in, unremovable cables. Semi-modular power supplies mean they have only a 24 pin cable and 8 pin connector attached - the rest of the needed cables can be removed if needed. Modular power supplies have all fully modular cables that can be removed or re-attatched. Another thing you might see is the word *80+* with an ore, like gold, silver, bronze, etc. - this just states the efficiency of the power supply. For this build I chose a 450 EVGA power supply (80+ bronze) which should be more than enough power.
~Prices do not include Moniter, Keyboard, Mice, Moniter, etc.
I could make a post like this about how to build a PC like this, if you guys want
If you have any questions you can post a comment or send me a conversation. Sorry if the was annoying, I like talking about computers xD.
