A. 500 pounds is fine for a gaming PC, especially for minecraft.
You'll need these parts at least, ordered from most to least important for gaming:
-Graphics card
-Processor
-RAM
-Harddisk
-Motherboard
-Power supply
-Case (with fans)
The graphics card is what creates the image on your screen. You can get a great graphics card for about 100 pounds. I'll take the HD6770 as an example, which costs 92 pounds on amazon. You can get better cards, but this one will be more than enough for casual gaming including minecraft.
Processors are the "brain" of the computer. Fast processors make a computer do things fast. AMD recently released a nice new processor: The AMD FX-4100. It's a decent performing quadcore processor for the low price of 80 pounds.
RAM isn't really that important as long as you have enough. 4GB is enough, there is no need for more. Just get 1 time 4GB or 2 times 2GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM. It's cheap, it's good and better isn't exactly much faster, so don't bother for better. The price: 20 pounds.
The harddisk is where computer data is stored, as you may know. Slow harddrives will result in long loading times, which makes people sad. You can buy a 500GB or 1TB harddrive with your budget. This should cost around 60-80 pounds. No need for something more expensive.
Motherboard doesn't contribute to performance. You just have to make sure it works with all your other parts. If you'd go for the AMD FX-4100 processor, which is a socket AM3+ processor, you NEED a socket AM3+ motherboard to go with it. Always match your CPU and motherboard, otherwise it won't work. You can get motherboards as cheap as 40 pounds, which really are all you might need. Don't bother spending more than 80 pounds on a motherboard, you probably won't need it.
You'll obviously need a case to hold your parts. You probably should get a midi tower. It's big enough, but not too big like big towers. You can get decent enough cases for 30 to 80 pounds, around 50 pounds should provide you a nice case though.
Now for the power supply. Around 350/400W should be fine for this setup, which should cost you around 20-50 pounds. Assuming 40 pounds for now. It doesn't really matter what PSU you buy, as long as it provides enough Watts, it's fine.
Final step: Windows 7. You can pirate it or buy it, ill assume you buy it for now. Home Premium will cost you around 110 pounds. Don't bother getting a better version, it's a waste of money.
To add things up:
Graphics card: 100
CPU: 80
RAM: 20
Motherboard: 50
Harddisk: 80
PSU: 40
Case: 50
Windows: 110
Total: 530 pounds. A little over your budget, but i can't be assed to change everything i got now to fit into the 500 pounds budget. It will run any game, though newer games on lower settings. Cooling isn't a big problem with these components, so you can play games for 3 days straight if you'd want to.
I'd recommend you to look some computer building tutorials and tips on google. You're fine with what i listed above here, but you might want to change some things like getting a better graphics card, or a better CPU.

Good Gaming and Recording Computer?
Q. I want a good gaming and recording computer. I've been looking on intel.com and I've found some that might work, but I'm not sure. I would PREFER the computer to be under $1000 (I have $300 and would like to spend less than 3 years saving up for it) but if they're less than $1500 then that's okay too. I saw these:
HP Pavilion Elite h8-1220t
HP Pavilion Elite h8-1240t
HP Pavilion Elite h8-1380t Quad
CyberPower Mega Infinity 6000 Lightning
Acer AG3610-UR10P
Please, educate me on computers! I plan on getting Fraps and playing games like Skyrim, Minecraft, etc. SoI want an Intel i7 Core computer, and NEED it to not lag when I play and record at the same time.
Thank you all SO much!!! :)
So I went on CyberPowerPC.com and I've been picking things that make sense to me. (It's still somewhat confusing.) And now, I am lost. I have to pick the motherboard. Any help?? :) It's already set at this:
[CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ IRST, Lucid Virtu MVP, Ultra Durable4 Classic, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 2x Gen3 PCIe x16, 3x PCIe x1 & 2 PCI (Extreme OC Certified)
Should I just leave it at that, and go on? I think it'll be okay, but I'm not sure... I'm the most educated person in my family when it comes to computers, but this is WAY over my head.
Thanks again! :)
Also, should I have more than one video card? Video cards are the same as Graphics cards right?
Thanks, for the third time! :)

A. first off you shouldnt buy stock systems , they charge an arm and a leg for the higher end appointments. cyperpower was a good choice , but you get far more value when you go to there config part of there site and choose parts that make sense for you . on that site you can get a great gaming machine for 1000-1200 bucks . much more for 1500 the thing with fraps is its heavy on the cpu , so you will want at least a intel quad core . the 3570k should do this and run games maxed without a hiccup , but if you wanted to be certain a core i7 would be the smarter choice as it has 8 threads. skyrim is also heavy on both the cpu and gpu , so you would want a serious gaming graphics card. at least a 560ti , but with your budget you could probably get a 7870 or a 7950 if your careful on your config. both of which will max basically any game out right now . next would be ram if you plan to edit your fraps video ram will be your friend , what you will want in that regard is 12-16 gb of ram to help to render . also you would have to choose a good case and your choice of cooling for your cpu , rather it be air or water. howver on that site all the cases are for gaming so you shouldnt have to worry much about ventalation . and youd have to pick a psu . its harder than just ordering a stock , but it gets you way way more for your money in the end , and you casn be assured that your parts are quality , and not oem junk. if you ever have any questions regarding this sorta thing , or need help with a build , shoot me an email at poplepo3@gmail.com and id be glad to help.
