• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

Is This A Good Gaming Computer?

I'd recommend building it yourself rather than go through Ironside as their parts aren't worth what they charge individually aswell as their obvious Builders fee.
(Their Shirts look awesome though, if you're going through them then get the shirt)
The Graphics card I can personally vouch for as I have the same one and have had no real issues with it.
The CPU needs to be updated..it's just bad
This build will never find a need for watercooling as it's not made to be a massive beast of a PC
Ideally You would want a 750w PSU if you ever plan to make upgrades in the future
and You will find that a 128GB SSD will be full extremely fast.. I'd personally suggest going a bit bigger like 250GB to go with the TB Hard drive.

Actually, I found the website you made this PC at. If you were to buy this PC, it would cost you $1,515.00. Thats an insane amount of money for a really imbalanced PC. If you want a good PC, I recommend building one yourself. It's not that hard and just takes a small amount of research. Here is a part list I threw together that matches what you want. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dL3bZ8.
It has a modern processor, 16GB of RAM, a larger SSD, the same case, the same monitors and peripherals all while saving you a whopping $300. The platform is also up to date with PCI-Express 3, DDR4 and the option to install a M.2 SSD with Intel Optane support if you ever need to. This is a far better buy than what that website can produce.

That CPU is outdated as well as the platform. Its about 4 generations behind now even by AMD's own terms. Its missing key things such as DDR4 and PCI-Express 3, which in order to achieve the most out of the GPU, you'll need. Getting Liquid cooling for it doesn't make since either. I really recommend you avoid buying this system, its filled with outdated technology and will actually hinder you quite a bit.

(Sorry if I said things twice) you could use more ram and maybe get a new CPU means get a new mother board but another then that, that's a pretty good computer XD I don't know why you guys are saying that's. A bad computer

I really just don't want to mess up a part and replace it. That's why i don't want to build it myself.

Thanks for all of the help!
 
Honestly mate just have a YouTube search of some builds that cost around that much

companies that sell pre-builts will just rip you off tbh
 
Also I would kind of stray away from AMD, especially the processor you picked as explained by many others above, if you want better performance, I'd go for Intel. I made the mistake of buying an AMD CPU a while back, worst $180 I ever spent, really impacted preformance in my old system until I eventually upgraded to Intel. Not too sure on this, but I'm almost pretty sure that your CPU of choice would bottleneck the living crap out of a rx 480.

While that may have been true a couple years ago, AMD has recently released some decent CPU's known as Ryzen. Nothing for gamers to see, but if your a content creator, its something you should be looking at.

Yes but their lowest tier Ryzen CPU is also $329 so.. If he's thinking about paying $80 for a CPU, it seems as if it is kind of a budget build, I don't think he's going to want to pay anywhere close to $329 for a CPU.

Microphone/Capture Card bundle: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone Blackout Edition and Elgato Game Capture HD60

Look, I know every single pro Minecraft YouTuber will tell you that the blue yeti is great, but as someone who owned (still have it, just replaced it) a blue yeti, I can tell you that the Blue Yeti and basically every other Blue product sucks. Not because the quality - the quality is actually decent - but because of peripherals. The Blue Yeti itself costs ~$100 with just the base mount. The peripherals for it are about 150% more than the mic with the mount and arm - the only mount you can use for the yeti - is 50 and a high quality boom arm - i.e. the rode psa1 - is 100 dollars.

I would very much encourage you to look into the AT2020 - which will be perfect for what you want to do, has just about the same, if not better, quality and the peripherals are much less expensive, not to mention the fact that you can upgrade from the AT2020 and continue to use the same peripherals, which you won't be able to do with the Yeti - at least not with the shock mount. (Also the AT2020 just looks great, as opposed to the Yeti which is giant and ugly)

In terms of the 'elgato game capture' - there is not point in buying one of those. Once again, I know every 'pro minecraft call of duty' youtuber is sponsored by elgato, but that doesn't mean you actually need their product. Recording software is just as good, if not better (due to the fact that you can get them for free / cheaper). I would encourage you to look at either getting a bigger HDD (hard drive) or buying another hard drive all together for your recordings. Not only will recording to a second drive make it a lot more convenient, you will also little to no impact on your game when you start recording footage, which means you'll be able to play and record much more consistent gameplay (always a plus, imo).

Content creation as well as gaming. I dont really have a budget just something thats not really over (3k) and i'm able to work towards.

You have a 3K budget?

That's easier
If you've got that much cash to spend on a PC, go Intel all the way. There is no reason to go AMD unless you're on a tight budget
Same story for GPU, go for Nvidia if you can.

If you're only doing gaming, go for a Quad core CPU. You don't really need any more cores than that if you're only going to be gaming or editing. I do plenty on my 6700K and it's a Quad core

For specific CPU types, I'd recommend one of the new Kabylake Quad core CPUs, like the 7700K or the slightly older but still new 6700K. Keep in mind they have I5 CPUs as well like the Skylake 6500. The "K" on the end of the name just means if it's overclockable or not. Doesn't really matter for what you're going for, unless you want to research overclocking and the benefits.

Motherboard doesn't matter at all really, just make sure it's the right sized motherboard (ATX in your case). If there's an H in the name, it doesn't support overclocking, and if it has a Z, then it does. What specific motherboard you choose doesn't particularly affect performance.

You shouldn't need above a 600W power supply

For GPU, I'd recommend any of the new GTX 1000 cards like the 1060 or 1070, or the slightly older 900 range like the 960. I'm using a 960 with a 6700K I7 CPU and I get about 200FPS in Minecraft.

I don't know much about AMD cards but from what I've heard they run a lot hotter and have less optimisation in games.


MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GPU FITS INSIDE YOUR PC CASE

3k budget? Okay, I'm going to assume entire setup. Here is this PcPartPicker list.

CPU: Intel i7-7700k is Intels latest and greatest from the Kaby Lake family that recently launched. And if your spending more than $1300 on a PC, overclocking should be at least available so your PC will still have some life to squeeze out of it much later on.
CPU Cooler: Corsair makes some of the best all in one water coolers to keep that CPU cool. This will also let you overclock as far as you'd like.
Motherboard: Asus makes some of the best motherboards for the money and the Strix Z270 is no slouch. It is optane ready, supports SLI & Crossfire if that tickles your fancy and even some RGB goodness. Just a great all around motherboard.
RAM: 16gb at least for a PC at this category.
Storage: The super fast Samsung 250gb 850 EVO is one of the fastest sata SSD's out and a 2tb hard drive for mass storage should suffice
Video card: The Geforce GTX 1080ti is currently the fastest video card on the market. Its a no brainer to stuff this into the PC.
Case: The Corsair 750D is a large and easy case to build in. It should have plenty of airflow to keep your components and the raidiator from the all-in-one should fit fine in here.
Power Supply: EVGA is king with power supplies. This one is modular and lets you choose what cables you need and store away the ones you don't. Plus 650w should be enough to power the build with ease.
Operating System: It's Windows.
Monitor: The Asus PB278Q is a very good 1440p monitor. It has IPS, is 27 inches and has speakers. Be warned, monitor speakers aren't exactly something to drool over.

Note on peripherals: These are subjective, change to your likeing as these are what you will be interacting with 99% of the time on this machine.
Keyboard: The Corsair K70 is one of the most praised keyboards around. This particular model has rapidfire switches, which is great for games, not so great for typing. There is other switches availble, I suggest you look around and change to your prefences.
Mouse: The Razor Deathadder Chroma is a good all around mouse. Mouses are highly subjective and is something you should look a bit more into. Rocket Jump Ninja is one of the best reviewers when it comes to mice, I highly suggest you give him some attention when researching.
Headset: Kingston's HyperX Cloud II's are on top of the gaming headset category due to great build quality and good sound.
Microphone: @BenRekt basically nailed this one. The AT2020 is a great choice in this category. Salazar Studio recently got a similar model and gave it a mini review if you'd like to check it out.

This all comes out to a total of $2659.49. For a budget at 3k, you do have some wiggle room to maybe through something in here. Maybe another Asus PB278Q monitor would be good if you could go a little over. A second monitor is really nice and can really increase work flow if that's your thing. Other things to consider is maybe some good speakers. Creative Labs recently released the BasterX Katana. It's gotten some pretty good reviews, here is one from HardwareCanucks.

As for actually building it, here is a good video of building it step by step from the actual PcPartPicker guys. It may not be the same PC, but its very much the same process. Austin Evans also has a quick overview of the building process. TechDeals also has a ton of information about building PC's, pricing and bang for your buck discussions, and some useful information you may not come across from other people. This guy is building a PC very similar to what I listed here. Other YouTube channels that can be useful are LinusTechTips, JayzTwoCents, BitWit, Paul's Hardware, and HardwareCanucks.

Agree 100% with this, although there isn't much diff between a 6700K and a 7700K. if you have 3k then fck it you may aswell get the 7.
