PC Specs
- Thread starter benkrispies
- Start date
I would say a good 64 bit system (java and OS must be 64 bit) with at least 3GHz processor and 8 GB RAM with any decent video card. The video card isn't the big hit with FTB packs. It is the CPU and memory.
To answer your actual question, I would recommend a "Gaming PC".
Any super fast one will do, as long as you get 70+fps.
This question isn't really easily answerable, as every PC's different in some way or another.
We can't tell you what to buy, but we can advise.

I shall now proceed to piece together a $4000 super-high end gaming machine...

That's a good amount, got my gaming pc for less than that, and it is extremely fast!
AlienWare (Beware overpriceness and trickery!) http://www.alienware.co.uk/

Just a few of many from a quick google and brainstorm.
Vibox is just as bad as Alienware with those prices. Your burning money buying from them. If you can build with LEGO and read a manual, you can build your own computer for less.
Overclockers is the same. Don't spend your money on a prebuilt unless its just for basic internet browsing and office work.
For example, this is a custom build that could max about every game at 1080P at 60 FPS and would do great in FTB. It costs a little under £550. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2NWr1
The exact same computer costs £740.91 at Vibox.

That is where you are wrong, I got my Vibox PC extremely cheap and I cannot believe how fast it is.
But the thing about overclockers and alienware are completely true.
At this point, unless you can provide an actual cost and partslist, I find that company to be just as bad as Alienware or Overclockers.
The great thing about building yourself is that each part has its own warranty and you don't break any warranty by simply upgrading parts. If you switched to 8 gigs of memory, it would cost more though.
For example, this build has 8 gigs of memory instead of 4 but costs £566.08 which is a little over your budget. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2Otv0
Good points there, I'll stop fighting for it.
Go with what you want benkrispies, but please for your own sake leave it a week to completely decide, you don't want to feel regret.
No it is not. Even with the cost of an OS, it will be cheaper than buying a prebuilt. If this computer is only being used for FTB and web browsing, Linux is free and can do almost anything Windows can. The main downside is very few games support it, FTB works because its based on Minecraft which is based on Java. Java is fairly universal and will work on just about anything.
Thanks guys. If you have any other suggested builds please post them to give me some more options.
The best option is experience, just search around for a week or two, decide on what is best (ie. money wise, what you get for it, specs).
Then buy, enjoy and play FTB!
