@Araby264

Really? Haven't noticed that.

[Araby264]

@Meta
Yeah, I think its because its less popular, so they make less profit from it.

Potentially, yeah. Not everyone likes bitter.

Because MC is terribly programmed; that can probably be fixed by allocating more. If not, 16 gigs won't make it all that much better. 16 is recommended because it's future proof, but 8GB won't hinder your performance for at least two years, probably closer to five. If you want to spring for 16, it's good future proofing, but that's about it.
It's difficult when I'm not sure what you're doing. If you're upgrading, I have to make sure that what you're getting is compatible with your motherboard. If you're building from scratch, then you get to look for the cheapest and best parts.
I didn't understand this last sentence at all.

@Meta

I'm trying to upgrade but if I build from scratch and the harddrives are compatible then fuck it. I just want a better computer so I can play new games.
And with MC I've allocated all 8 and still had problems.

@DarkwolfX37

Your hard drives cannot be made incompatible. A hard drive is SATA, period.

MC has terrible programming; that's why. That, and your GPU is dirt.

Then I'm fucking upgrading, aren't I?

[Araby264]

My computer has a motherboard issue.......
I don't know how that's relivent, I don't do well with actual computers, I'm just the engineer.

I don't know at all what you want to do. Computers are modular; you can do either. You might be able to get away with just buying a new GPU.

@Araby264

So does Sven's. Hmmm.

[Araby264]

@Meta
Really? Does he know specifically what Is wrong with it?

Nope. Do you?

I'm just trying to be able to play newer games. Would those three parts do that? What do I need to get?

No; your motherboard is not compatible. You could get a new one and just reuse your case, but you would probably be better off with a new GPU alone. I can run through a parts list and find you one (though no guarantees that Minecraft in its current state will run perfectly because it runs perfectly on next to nothing—however, you'll certainly get major improvement) if you'd like. It would make literally every game better and probably max most of them out.

@Meta
No my GPU is connected to the motherboard. Or at least this is whay ive been told is wrong with my computer.

@Araby264

Every GPU is connected to the motherboard. Your motherboard connects all of your parts together and they can all be removed. It's like having a problem with your engine vs. having a problem with the circuitry in your car.

As long as I don't need a new harddrive I can replace everything else. Just tell me the best parts to get. I've got about 1100 to use, but the cheaper for the most benefit the better.

@DarkwolfX37

My only reservation with starting from scratch is that you don't improve all that much other than the GPU. Processor technology has been kind of stagnant (though recently, there's been some mumbling about a potential uproar in that field), motherboards only change to adapt to new ports, and RAM speeds won't affect gaming performance. You'd get essentially the same boost with nothing but a GPU upgrade. If you have your heart set on a new build, I can help you, but if all you care about are sheer performance gains at a decent price, you can go straight GPU.

I'll still get the ram upgrade just in case, but I don't even know what graphics card I have or if my processor is good enough. All I know is that MC fucks up when modded, I can't even get DOOM to run, Hitman and Prey run but at about 2 fps at lowest quality, and running youtube at the same time as a game makes it worse.
Just fucking tell me what to get and how much it'll be. I'll get the RAM on top of it and then get it done.
