I'm looking to build my sisters their own pc, I've heard it's cheaper to build It myself but I have no idea how to. If you guys would want to give me some tips it'd be greatly appreciated!

(I need a pc that I can always upgrade the graphics card too)

If your sisters are just going for Minecraft do an AMD A-series with integrated graphics. AMD Integrated graphics are pretty good, certainly enough for Minecraft. It usually is somewhat cheaper to build your own computer and it gives you much greater reliability in terms of mobo + PSU especially. I would just go with an A8 or A6, a Richland A4 or Athlon 5350 if you are really on a budget. Get a motherboard, 2x4GB RAM and a 120GB SSD and a nice case and decent PSU and you're set. You can buy a Windows license or install Linux, Minecraft actually works well on Linux. If you are using some distros you can barely tell the difference from a GUI user perspective. But I wouldn't bother with a discrete card. They are expensive, more difficult...

In addition to what ComputerSecurityGuy has said, it's worth mentioning that Minecraft benefits from a high clock rate more than it does from multiple cores, so if you have a choice of a higher-clocked CPU or one with more cores at the same price, it's generally better to go for the higher clock. (This is mainly relevant with mod packs - stock Minecraft will probably play fine on just about any current CPU.)
