The AMD A8 APUs (CPU+GPU) have pretty weak processors and minecraft is pretty CPU intensive and not programmed to take advantage of multiple cores. For minecraft I would recommend an intel build since they have more powerful single core performance. If you are willing, you could build yourself a pretty good minecraft pc for that price or you could get an i3 build on that same website for about the same price.

Did you want a parts list for building one yourself or for the pcspecialist website? For the pcspecialist the parts in the post above are pretty much the only things I changed from the stock setup.

I would recommend building yourself though, you typically get higher quality components.
