Recording Gaming PC for minecraft $450-$700

Here's a quick guide to follow, and it may be missing stuff as I am typing this on my phone.
Put the CPU in the motherboard CPU socket, and close the latch on the socket. If you are using a custom CPU cooler unscrew the back of the motherboard and screw the plates in that came with your custom CPU cooler. Its kind of hard to describe water cooling, but you shouldn't need it unless you plan on some serious overclocking as a decent air cooler should do the job. After your CPU cooler is installed, mount the mother board into the case and screw it in and make sure it is not loose. After this is done, mount the power supply into the case. I prefer modular power supplies, as it is easier to manage the cables. After that plug all your case cables into your motherboard, and this is kind of self explanatory; just plug it in where it fits into the motherboard. Some case cables you will need to look at your motherboard guide though, as this is different for every motherboard. Then install your graphics card. Unscrew the plate blocking the PCIE port at the end, then plug in your graphics card. Plug in the power to everything on your motherboard after this. Again, just plug it in where it looks like it needs to go. To explain the graphics card part more, put the graphics card in the PCIE port, then screw it in at the end. Make sure you plug in the power to your graphics card as well. Then plug in any fans that came with the case, and your CPU fan. Then grab one of the cables that came with your motherboard called the SATA cable. You will need this after mounting your hard drive. In order to mount your hard drive, pull out the tray where it will sit in and screw it in. Then connect the power cable to it as well as the SATA cable. Then pull out your disk drive, if you bought one and put it in the front of your case. It requires the same cables as the hard drive, the SATA cable and a power cable. After thats done put your RAM in the RAM ports, and push em down till you hear a "click". You are now ready to begin the software installing part. Screw your case backup and plug in your mouse, keyboard, monitor, and whatever else you need to use as well as the power cable into the back of the power supply. Make sure the power supply is set to "On". Then turn your PC on and put your Windows installation disc into the disk drive. The windows installation part is self explanatory. Once you have set windows up, install your motherboard drivers. You can achieve this by using the disc that came with your motherboard, or downloading it online. Just search your motherboard followed by drivers in google and it should pop up. Then install your graphics card drivers. This can be done by the same way you installed your motherboard drivers; using the disc or downloading them online. After this is done, you are finished. You can do whatever you want after this, and be sure to have fun!
I have listed a build for $700 assuming you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
If you don't use the build that I pick for you, I will set some general guidelines for picking parts.
For choosing a motherboard, you can usually trust that the ASUS motherboard is going to be reliable. They are the most reliable for me, and I would recommend them for the most part. As for the power supply, only buy from big name brands. I would recommend the following power supply brands:
Corsair(Except for the CX builder series)
Seasonic
XFX
Some Antec, but look up the specific power supply to see if it is good.
Some EVGA, but look up the specific power supply to see if it is good.
Some Rosewill, but look up the specific power supply to see if it is good.
Silverstone as well is usually reliable. In general, power supplies are something you have to research a little bit. I would highly recommend seasonic and XFX.
As for a CPU cooler, go with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Very cheap and outperforms most air coolers.
For CPUs, just look that up. I would recommend most Intel i3s, i5s, and i7s. For AMD, I would only recommend the FX that begin with a 3 as their second number. (FX 8320, good. FX 8120, stay away from it.) Most phenom quad cores are good but they are old and getting rare. RAM, most RAM is good just make sure it is at least 1600mhz and you want at least 8 gigs of it. For hard drives, stick with Toshiba, Western Digital, and Seagate.
