Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet, and it has introduced a new generation of gamers to PC gaming. For many, Minecraft will be the game that inspires them to build their own computer. Playing Minecraft from the comfort of your own computer with your friends is really awesome. Although, the game is so much greater when you and your friends have your own server similar to those at https://ggservers.com.
People often ask us for advice on building a PC for a specific game, and one of the games commonly requested is Grand Theft Auto V.

Newegg.com tends to have some of the best sales on PC parts out of any online stores, and today (January 27), they are having a good one!
A lot of these prices are as low as I saw on Black Friday.
Thermaltake Core V1
When putting this build together, I wanted to build a Mini ITX PC that can play almost any game at 1440p at 60 FPS with Ultra settings. I allocated a budget of $1,200 and picked parts accordingly.
This is a Haswell build, but I’ve provided alternative options for Skylake, at a slightly higher price.
Gonzo65’s 901 Build
Inspired by the Holiday sales, I decided to put together a quiet, clean, small Mini ITX build to handle any current game at max settings at 2560×1440. Total build price: $1,750.
It’s a little more expensive and harder to put together than a comparable full-sized build, but it turns out gorgeous and powerful.
