I don't really know what CPU+Mobo you should get but if he will only play Minecraft I'd go for something cheap like an AMD R7 250(X) or an nVidia GT 740 but if he wants to play more and (graphically) heavier games I would go for an AMD R9 280 or and nVidia GTX 760. and have a hard drive of at least 500 gb. forget about an SSD (for now) this will only drag the overall performance down because you have to spend money on something unnecessary.

And have like 8 gigs of RAM. this is more than enough for Minecraft and it is the standard for newer games.
I hope I helped you :)

Here. An extremely powerful build for the money. It can probably last 1 generation of GPU, before being forced to move into a new CPU +mobo.
