well I made a post about 1 week ago asking for a build for $900
my computer is not all that bad but I need better!
I will give you my compute specs:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
that is my computer!
it came with some crappy monitor and mouse/keyboard!

I'm looking to get a way faster computer for gaming/streaming/frapsing
I will be playing mineraft and league of legends.
I also need new monitor, keyboard, mouse and new computer case
for the computer case I think I will be going with this one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I WANT AN AWESOME COMPUTER!
Budget is around $600 - $700 on parts!

I don't think people realize how terrible games like Minecraft are for benchmarking. In fact, I don't think there could be any worse game.

Please define what your definition of "gaming/streaming/frapsing" is. If you were to say, for example, BF3 or Borderlands 2 on "x" settings, the community would better able to pick the hardware that would best suit your preference/need.

Hate to break it to you pal but if all you're going to be doing on your pc is Facebook and LoL, you do not need to upgrade. And since that is all you claim to be doing with your pc (I gave you chance to say otherwise), you shouldn't be spending money on power that you clearly don't need.

Now, a new mouse/keyboard/monitor is a different story. They will aid in an ergonomic feel and what some delusional people believe to help in typing speed. But that raises so many new questions....
Keyboard: Backlit? Mechanical? Numpad? Media keys? Etc.
Mouse: Gaming? Sh*t ton of buttons that you really don't need?

I agree, no need for a powerful machine to run minecraft. If you were to play other games that need more and can be properly bench marked, as said before, then it would be easy. But on topic, get a GPU. A cheap ok one. I had a radeon hd 6670 and it was fine for minecraft.

If you will be just normally streaming, gaming,ect. It is fine, but if you intend to stream in HD or high quality at all on any decent games, I would suggest a processor upgrade if you want to play/livestream big games, or stream in HD. A good processor upgrade, depending on what you get, would be prob around 100-200, and your graphics card is not very good at all, integrated is a no no for gaming, if you havea 600-700 budget , I suggest customizing one. If you are considering that, PM me and I can help you customize a good one within your budget.

for keyboard I would love backlit and mechanical and wireless.
mouse: not one with so many buttons and let it have an led light to bright up when it's dark.
Monitor: I really don't know what to say but I will love a new monitor my monitor resolution right now is 1600 x 900 if that helps
