My current build is : Athlon x4 760k GTX 750 (16% OC) 8gb memory Corsair CX500 I was on a small budget when I built this a month or so ago, and I realize how inadequate it may be for some of the more demanding next-gen titles. With that being said, what should I look to upgrade within the next...

The keyboard/mouse/headset seem a bit overkill. Especially the headset. It would work, but you could do better for the money. You should stay with the 1tb hdd because he might grow out of Minecraft and need more space.

Have you checked another device to see if the problem persists? Try connecting straight to the modem instead of using the router and see if that fixes it.
