you could spend 200 on a gpu and 300 on the rest, that would probably work, or you could get an amd apu and crossfire it with a cheaper vid card...

I would suggest something like an AMD A10 with its integrated graphics. Or maybe you could add in a GPU there if you want better performance. Minecraft is more CPU intensive than GPU. Also, if you are planning to play some other games on it, you might as well consider a dedicated graphics card. Maybe something like what @Rationale posted on this topic.
