Fyi, youtube only displays videos at 30 FPS, so recording at 70fps doesn't really matter. Minecraft is virtually all CPU based, so a video card doesn't contribute that much. This comes in under 500 and should have no problems getting 100+ FPS in minecraft. If you need proof it's basically the same as my budget build seen here: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/wxccCJ but with a little bit weaker graphics card because you're only interested in minecraft.

Not for Minecraft though. Minecraft won't use 6 cores. Very few games will.

I'm not opposed to this. BUT, there is some concern about the asrock board coming with the updated bios needed for the haswell refresh (which is what the 4150 is).

The i3's have hyper threading so, they have 4 cores when necessary, but not when they aren't.

Video Rendering is kind of intensive but, your budget doesn't allow you to build what is typically considered a good rendering machine.
