OP if you want to run minecraft just get an i5.

You would need to oc that fx 6300 to 5 ghz+ to get i5 like performance.

Why bother?

You were gonna get an 6300 which is a horrible cpu for minecraft which uses one core but your biggest problem is the USB 3.0 headers?

Okay.

You guys don't seem to spend a lot of money on the motherboard :P. Even so if it's cheap, you still need a reliable motherboard.

An i3 would do just fine
