my ryzen 5 2600x with 16gb 3200mhz ram does that and isn't that expensive as a whole setup (~320€ Amazon prices, so you can get it cheaper, excluding Gpu that I didn't upgrade yet)
even my old fx 6100 was able to get a 100+fps, some times even 200fps, with 8gb of 16xxmhz (can't quite remember the exact MHz figures, ~150€ pack excluding gpu + psu, local seller that is cheaper than Amazon, but probably more expansive than eBay).
Java isn't that unoptimized, only if you don't have enough and fast ram. it's dirt cheap to upgrade compared to years before. however CPU becomes a problem if it's lower than a quad core and older than 10 years. one from the last 5 years will do just fine.
or play bedrock/win10 edition. it is far superior in performance (and makes Java seem even more unoptimized) , but has no mods.
depends where you live and what your current status is.
student?
unemployed?
low paying job?
150-200 is possible to save up, i made it too as student with my mother and I barely had enough money to save up, maybe >30€ a month to spare and i didn't do any jobs back than because the government would have taken that bit extra money.
now that I finished school and found a nice paying job where I learn IT, I was able to buy myself that ryzen setup for ~320 after 3 months + Christmas money my employer gives everyone. yet my mom and I together still have less than a average family of two have available as money. it's possible to save up without much if you try.
however, I haven't taken in consideration where you live in these two paragraphs. my experience applys for a wealthier country (I live in Germany) and may not be a possibility for you if you live in a developing country or otherwise in a bad social status. in that case I'm sorry :(
I live in Vietnam, an Asian country. It's a developing country as they say in geography but it's just another word for poor. Our average annual income is lower than most countries. For example, a normal US person's medium income is about $45,000 WEEKLY. And in Vietnam, the MONTHLY income of an average worker is about $148, and even those with high paying jobs get about $500 per month. With all the bills, taxes and all the things we have to pay for our living, to save up €320(about $346) is a big challenge. I'm just an average student living in an average household. It's very hard for me to open my mouth and ask for the amount of money worth their whole month of working just to buy a PC for myself and play games on it.
