    With Minecraft, you're looking for a dedicated graphics card, which also helps with The Sims.

    You didn't mention a budget or any preferred brand. At komplett.ie, there is an Acer with an Ivy Bridge Core i5 and a Geforce GT 630m for €599. Not a killer GPU but good enough for either game, the CPU is up-to-date and will give you some reserves.

    If you shop around, you may find a Core i3 with a GT 610/615m for around 500 Euro, which might just about do.
