If you're going to be recording a lot with this build. I suggest this:

Get a 1TB HDD for now. It'll be much slower than an SSD but you'll be able to at least install OS and your vitals on it. When you get a bit more money down the line, a SSD as boot up and potentially for boot up and both CS and minecraft, either 120gb or 240gb would do fine. 240 would probably be slightly better to give you more room for any other programs you want to install. Keep all video files on the 1TB HDD. Eventually you'll want to add another one or a bigger HDD and that'll be up to you.

I do suggest going with nVidia for shadowplay since it does do slightly better than AMD's GPU recording solution right now I believe, someone could correct me if I'm wrong.

Minecraft uses your CPU a lot, so its better to go for atleast 4 cores.

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.99 @ Amazon) - Great for editing and running Minecraft since it's a CPU intensive game.
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($59.99 @ Newegg) - Perfect for the CPU and memory.
Memory: Kingston Predator Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($58.61 @ NCIX US) - Enough memory to game and edit/render
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($61.98 @ Outlet PC) - Great hard drive space for Minecraft videos, photos, videos, etc.
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ($184.99 @ Newegg) - This graphics card can run Minecraft shaders no problem whilst recording
Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N250PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($20.33 @ Amazon) - You won't need if this if you're planning to use ethernet (Highly recommend using ethernet!)
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($29.99 @ Newegg) - Cool looking case
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($44.99 @ NCIX US) - Clean power supply - more than enough!
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($12.98 @ Outlet PC) - For CD games and to install OS unless you are installing from a Flash drive.
You could squeeze in an SSD for Minecraft, running Minecraft on the same Hard Drive whilst recording will lag out the game, I would highly recommend you buy a second HDD or SSD!
