Im looking to build a gaming pc with a buget of $500. I am sure that the only game im gonna play is minecraft. I would like the computer to run minecraft at 100 fps and im gonna be recording to. I don't know that much about computer parts so a strait answer about part picker or something would be good.

No worries, don't mind clicking the "Pick as the Solution" button so others may find this useful for a tight budget gaming computer.

That's for seeing the prices of all components at each shop, so it will give you all components at newegg, and how much they would cost, and the same for other shops.

I wouldn't recommend the PSU, if you're not using the mail-in rebate, you could get an XFX 550W for about the same price, if you are going to do the mail-in rebate, then I don't think there's anything better for the price.

Oh and just a tip for you, Joeteoh, use bbcode when exporting to have the cleaner look.
