Around how many FPS would this build get you on a game like Minecraft.

I would suggest an i5 if you are only gaming.

 

Why all the hard drives ? Do you need that much storage ?

 

Swap the XFX for the Powercolor 290 as you get 8GB free ram with it. You could then ditch the Corsair ram. You only need 8GB anyway.

 

If you plan on adding a 2nd gpu then you want an 850W psu ideally. Something like the Superflower leadex or evga supernova g2. You would also need a different board as the one you have chosen isn't the best for crossfire. The Gigabyte Z97 SLI isn't that much more, and overclockers sell it as part of a bundle with the i5.
