FX 8350 is just a multiplier overclocked FX 8320. FX 8320 will match FX 8350 with ease. I should know, as I own two of them. :lol: Video card depends on how much you want to really spend on one. My suggestion above was a good midrange starting point. Minecraft doesn't exactly need much.

That's overkill for Minecraft. It seems to be enough for every setting on Minecraft to be cranked on high. However, considering that you are going to video edit, the build seems proper and fitting.

However, you STILL NEED NEED NEED a GPU. An AMD A10 does.
