My younger brother wants me to build him a gaming PC since I am currently working on one for myself. Really all he is going to play is minecraft and he wants to play with me so that means I can not just share. So I was wondering what would be a pretty cheap build but still run that game pretty well.
What would be a good cheap build for playing minecraft

For Minecraft, you only really need a 250 GB hard drive but you never know. The network adapter is so you can plug it into the PC so you can play via wifi and not ethernet.
(Should run minecraft 1.7.10 at around 40-80 fps on decent render distances)
