I'm wanting to build a pc for minecraft but still have a good mother board so I can upgrade gpu and ram and am I able to remove CPU and put on a new one in the future. My budget right now is around 600$ and don't need so, monitor, or keyboard thanks.

Here you are. it's a MC beast. it will run it with a lot of mods too, but you will need to overclock the CPU to get perfect performance http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xNRHnQ

if you have a local micro center there doing a g3258 and a msi z97 mb combo for 99.00. use a evga 600b power supply and a r300 case. I would use the 600 for the cpu and mb and other parts but hold off on the gpu. I would ask for the holidays for a pre paid credit cards or gift card for newegg or amazon. I would then pick up the nvidia 960 or amd card that coming out next year the nvidia 960 should be a 200.00 gpu.

Keep in mind I do not have mail in rebates on. Most others keep in on. The price you see is the price you will pay :) 
Also, if you live near a micro center it would be in your best interest to go to one and buy the 4160 for $99

960 is going to be so back ordered it's ridiculous. I ordered my 970 on the 24th and still don't have :)  I won't for another 2-3 days.
