Any minecraft players here?

My nephew plays, and I'm thinking of building him a computer. I want as cheap as possible, but want it to play the game flawlessly. Is this overkill? What would you recommend? (Canadian pricing) Note, he'll also be using the computer as a server

Yes he will be using some mods, but I don't know which ones. I'll ask him when he finishes school today. And yes, minecraft is the only game his parents let him play.

If he is gonna run a server I think(just think, wait for other people to answer too) you are better off with a 4670 or 4670k.
And change the subject to Minecraft server computer requirements.
