This will be plenty for minecraft. I'd also get a 120GB ssd, and maybe a h87 mobo, although this one seems to be reliable. You could also upgrade to a r9 270/ 270x. Regardless, best of luck.

If you can't go over:

I suggest the pentium over the i3 because this pentium is overclockable, and if you do decide to overclock, it'll outperform the i3.
