Here you go, went with an i5 which is more appropriate given your budget, and upgraded your GPU. The i5 will work well for gaming and streaming.

Get this, the 280x is much faster than the 760 and has more memory which is something you want in minecraft. This motherboard has better power delivery to the cpu than the gigabyte board above and the PSU is cheaper without having lower quality components.
