Building i7 for minecraft

[StickTalk]

Can someone build me a minecraft pc using the following processor i7-7700K

I want something with 16GB DDR4 Ram and 250GB SSD but I'm not sure of the motherboard to use or anything of that sort. Could someone perhaps build me something that I can use using the information I stated above?

Appreciate the help.

practically any z270 board will be good enough.

for minecraft an i7 is pretty overkill, if you're going for shaders you'll need a gpu, 1050ti+ would be ideal.

I will sell you my gaming laptop that has 16 GB Ram, 250 GB SSD and regular HDD. I7 6700k. GTX 970m graphics card (can play most games 70+ FPS) and is in great shape.

Asking $775

Wait a bit and buy a 2700x next month.

Does it have to be 7700k? Or do you own it already?

Here's what I would recommend, I5-8600k which is part of Intel's newest generation and it also has two more cores. You did not include your budget so I went by what would be more than enough for minecraft and other games.

System Builder - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X, ECLIPSE P400 TEMPERED GLASS ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

Here's a build with 8600k which is newer generation and has two more cores. You did not include your budget so I went by what would be more than enough for minecraft and other games.

Thanks, I prefer something 4.0+GHz is what I'm really looking for but that's a good build I'm going to add it to my list to builds.

Why is that? You're mistaken if you think that clock speeds are all in all. The i5-8600k will actually outperform the 7700K in most tests.
Here is a site where you can compare specific components, if you're still fairly new to this stuff it can be a great help.

No problem. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions regarding the build.

Would that same build work with the 8700k? or which one is better out of the 7700k, 8700k and the i5 8600k?

 

[StickTalk]

I think I want to go with the 7700k or the 6700k processor. Also do I need to get a gfx card with them?

Yes, it would work with the 8700k as well without changing any other parts.
Best to worst order is 8700K > 8600K > 7700K (these are all top-end cpu's , I personally recommend the 8-series so either 8600k or 8700k)

Graphics card is what matters the most when it comes to achieving higher framerates in games.
For minecraft and most other games the 1060 will be more than enough. If you want to go a bit overkill then you should look into swapping that to the nvidia gtx 1070 card.

Wow thank you man this helps me so much now I can build all the pc's I need.

I cant thank you enough.

Do you know a good 1RU chassis I don't want to use a tower.

This site shows you well-rounded builds for each price point to avoid bottlenecking. Scroll down until you see the i7 pop up around $1200.

Delid the 8600k and then OC it to 5 ghz. Thats what I am planning to do unless 2700x comes along faster.
