Minecraft seems to be using my intergrated i5 graphics rather than my overclocked 750 ti. I managed to get skyrim using my nvidia card by plugging it into my monitor but minecraft only manages 50fps where skyrim gets at least that on epic settings with multiple visual mods. There is not option to set preferred graphics processor in my nvidia control panel. How can i get MC and other games to use my nvidia over the intergrated graphics?

Is this a laptop?

On a desktop, plug your monitor into a port on the GTX750ti.
In your motherboard bios, you may need to designate the GTX750ti as the boot message adapter and disable the integrated adapter.

Have you tried disabling the integrated graphics in your bios?

If you are plugged into the graphics card then its using that GPU.

Probably you turned on vsync so that's why minecraft has only 60 fps.

having vsync on or a 60hz monitor will limit most games to 60 fps, and really who plays minecraft with a gaming rig, play real games mate

I play skyrim with a gaming rig. I play console games with my gaming rig. Minecraft is a game that shows my fps without add-ons. Anyone who has a gaming rig for games and also has minecraft plays it on a gaming rig pal... but thanks for your input.
