I would like my nine year old son to do make mods for minecraft during our summer break.

I wouldn't go with the third. Both the first and second will play the game quite easily. The second option doesn't come with a power supply? If not, go with the first IMO. The FX 6300 is a good processor for what you want and the gtx 460 is more than enough.
