Well Minecraft uses 1 CPU core, so an Intel CPU will be by far the best for the money. Probably an i3-4130 or Pentium G3220 as low cost options.
How much do you plan to spend total, and do you need a monitor/keyboard/mouse as well? I could suggest a list of parts.

This would run Minecraft well over 60 fps. It's also suitable for pretty much any other game at high settings.

If you want to spend less money and still hit your goal for Minecraft, this would also be enough. Other new games it'd be more around medium settings, but Minecraft isn't hard to max at 60+ fps.
