I know it's more expensive but it has 8GB of RAM (not that you need it for Minecraft, but in the future you may want to play some heavier games), a better GPU, a 1080p monitor, etc

you could try to get a ips montior for 20$ more, a fx 6300 would be more stronger and better than a apu. if you cant do any of those try to get some 1866 2x2gb ram apus work better with faster ram and dual channel gives more performance.

The Athlon 760k is not an apu, just a CPU. There are no integrated graphics in the 760k and also for what I will be using the CPU for it is fine for this build.

Yeah, but the FX 6300 isn't exactly a six core, it's kind of a three core with hyperthreading. And the FX 6300 for example is on par with the i3 4150, which is on par with an overclocked G3258, even when recording. And if the OP choses an Nvidia GPU, there's no point in all of this because of Shadowplay.
