I want to get around 500 FPS In Minecraft or higher, 120 FPS when I'm recording.
In any other games like Battlefield, ARMA 2, and Skyrim i'd like to be able to play 60+ FPS
Could anyone tell me what type of FPS i'd be getting with each one, and which one is closest to my needs? I want to keep it cheap but I'm willing to go 700, and maybe a little over if these other budget builds don't do it.

Can you use the BBcode option in part picker please? Makes it a lot easier to read, much less cluttered, the option you used is for Reddit.

Few things:
Why do you want 500fps in Minecraft? What monitor do you have?
Most of these builds won't be able to max BF4 @ constant 60fps, the R9 280 + i5 could probably get a fairly consistent 60fps most of the time, but none of the others will.
Don't use Corsair CX PSUs, they're pretty awful.

I like how you mentioned the enchanted armour, because the purple swirl graphic on enchanted stuff is super GPU heavy....

But still. Use Tiny Voice's build.
