What gaming PC should I get?

I want to play games with not as high graphics, but games like Minecraft (Heavily Modded), Kerbal Space Program, and maybe the occasional higher end game, but not very often. Should I get an Asus with AMD Quad-Core FX-4300 Processor with AMD HD 8350 dedicated graphics? Or a Cybertron with AMD Dual-Core A4-5300 Processor with AMD Radeon HD 7480D Graphics? Both have 8 GB of ram and 1 TB Hard Drive.

Minecraft A Java Exception Has Occurred

I have a cracked Minecraft account. I updated the launcher so I would be able to play 1.7.2 but ever since, whenever I try to play, no matter what version I choose, the message "A Java Exception Has Occurred". I have tried to re-install Java many times but there's no change. Any ideas? Does anyone know a good cracked launcher that will run 1.7.2 for me without any Java errors?

Windows 8: Minecraft Horse Update won't work?

I have a windows 8, first of all. Everytime I update my minecraft to 1.7.2, it opens the new launcher. BUT when I close it and restart minecraft, it has the old launcher. Everytime I want to play, I have to re-update it to 1.7.2. I've tried uninstalling java and installing it back. I don't know what's wrong. 1.7.2 just doesn't stay.

I have a really good game storyline idea, what do you suggest?

The idea is based on alternate history. So it would be like historical fiction. (Think Assassin's Creed)

What next, I definitely want to make it myself, and all I know is Java.

So should I make it as an app or for desktop like Minecraft, it would probably be free or very cheap.

I know this isn't much information, I suppose I could say that it would be WWII based alternate history…

Also, what genre should I make it, I was thinking strategy, but I don't have any ideas for game mechanics in that area, but no other areas sound like they could fit with the theme.

Any suggestions are welcome.
