Well specs wise B is much better but it is also overkill for what you will be doing. If you go with A you will have more than enought power for recording and minecraft. The 760 should also play most other games at high settings as well. The only change I would make to A is not getting a 1TB ssd because they are rediculously expensive and getting a storage set up similar to the one in B with a 1TB bulk storage hdd and a smaller 120 GB ssd for your os and maybe a couple games.
