I now have a budget of €600/$830 in front of me and am in search of a Gaming PC which can mainly run Minecraft,BF4,Fifa but mainly minecraft as i'll use my xbox for the rest. I'll also want to do a bit of editing for Youtube and so on. I want a smooth running PC.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could guide me towards a good build.

Even a potato can run minecraft.

Update:

Went with a stronger CPU for extra minecraft power.

Not true; I've tried using a 2003 (or older?) laptop to run Minecraft and it ran at a barely playable FPS. (5~11)
