Agreed. I would definitely troubleshoot this out before spending money. I'd start with the ram given the CPU and board being used. I had a 2200g and AB350, and ram had to be dialed in. A much newer bios than what shipped, and running the ram at under 3000 speed was necessary.Yea have you checked to see what is being maxed out like memory, hard drive, cpu temperature, etc... the CPU should be ok for minecraft.
