Should this system be good for playing minecraft @ 60+Fps (some what) smooth, and rec @ 30+ Fps as well (some what) smooth? And same for modded minecraft.

If you OC by raising the buss click speed as many do with AMD CPUs it will also raise the speed of the RAM, not decrease it. To compensate for this, if you have no desire to exceed 1600, you can lower the rams speed to 1333, or manually set the speed to 1600 after the OC is in place. Either way, with 1866 ram, running at any speed lower will only decrease performance. The gskill is more than capable of a mild OC beyond 1866, even if you need to raise ram voltage by 0.05v to maintain stability.

[quotemsg=13650160,0,788045]That CPU is junk, even overclocked it sucks. Spend the extra money and get an FX6300. It's absolutely worth the money.[/quotemsg]

Good idea more cores 300 instead of 100 series for likE an extra $5.00 thx

Mainly for extra performance but now that I think of it since your ram speed decreases when overclocking and I don't want to go past 1600mhz so maybe I don't need the liquid cooling, thx

So u are saying that overclocking amd CPUs does not cause ram to go slower, thought on the linustechtips that intel
CPUs cause u to lose ram speed, any way thx

If you overclock using the buss clock, it will raise the CPUs speed, ram speed and several other things besides. The only way to lower ram speed is to a) do it manually, b) lower the buss clock speeds or c) add other ram that has a lower speed.
