making a pack for a not so strong PC

I mean, it's not wrong, since MC is a sandbox.

I just don't really see anything in the pack that needs vast amounts of resources either. it feels like a hoarding pack. endgame is the hoarding of materials to build "things" with it.

if it were my pack, i'd try to wedge some bees or something to eat up a good bit of power. or enhanced portals. or something.

If he adds Forestry then he must add Buildcraft and then he has 3 power systems RF,MJ and AE which complicates things but yea this is Minercraft.mine :)
 
You can run literally everything (in this hypothetical pack) including bee machines off of RF. AE will run off of anything, it's not really it's own power system so shouldn't really be counted imo.

AE has it's own power internally, and will run off of pretty much anything you can throw at it. I wouldn't count it as a power system honestly.

A lot of you have mentioned getting a gfx card, what would be a good one between $50 and $100?

EDIT:Isn't forestry now self contained? Like not needing Buildcraft?

I personally got a Sapphire Radeon HD5450 for 30 dollars off of Newegg.com. Not exactly high end, but it's loads better then a onboard GPU.
 
I mentioned that i have AMD Radeon HD6570 1GB GDDR3 128-bit gpu.I think its best buy (price <-> performances).

Wrong, forestry machines can run off RF thanks to conduits, and it has its own engines. Not to mention Agrarian skies used Forestry amd does not have Buildcraft.

Don't these two mods require Update Checker? As far as I know, this mod looks for updates every time you load up a world or go to a new dimension. Sometimes dimensions take 30 seconds to load on my computer due to this. (although i am on 1.7.2, not sure about 1.6.4)

That's actually not to bad. My daughter runs Horizons FTB on a computer not that different from this although it *does* have a better video card.

Update Checker is another @AtomickStryker mod yes, and it is bundled yes. But they don't require it and I omit it.
 
Just a question, how many of the mods on that list are 1.7.10 compatible?
