Need Budget PC around $350 for playing minecraft

[JmanHiggs]

I'm looking to build a PC this summer and will be building my first ever pc. I have about a $350 budget but that's no including a Monitor, Mouse + Keyboard, and OS. My budget will include
CPU
Motherboard
RAM
Hard Drive
Power supply
Network card/ USB adapter for WiFi
Case
and a video/graphics card.
I'm not looking for the best PC but a decent one to play games like minecraft but nothing to heavy like MW3, GTA or Crysis. I need a designated graphics card and will probably need to be able to run applications in the background. The preffered stores for my parts are 1. Canada Computers, 2. Tiger and Factory Direct, 3. Bestbuy Canada, 4. Amazon.ca and Newegg.ca as long as shipping costs arent big.
Thanks in advance also if their are any Monitors you reccomend that would be great (Under or around $100)
Thanks

How big of a hard drive do you need. For this build I would cheap out on almost everything except for the Cpu,Gpu and Psu that way you can get the most bang for your buck.

I would go a amd route because it is much cheaper then intel for a enrty level pc.

I am not a huge fan of tigerdirect canada and I know prices are higher in canada for a pc.

Sorry I am not much of a help but those are some pointers.

I'm looking at about 320gb + for a hard drive, 500gb if able. Thanks for the advice I was just listing some canadian stores I know have good parts. I mainly just dont want to pay big shipping fees. Canada Computers is my favourite and is highly reccomended by people I know.
Thanks
