The cheapest build would be the raspberry pi 2. You can play minecraft pi edition for around $35 usd.

Yes, but its not a real PC and Minecraft is one of the few games that you can actually play.

Thank you for showing us how to sort by price on PCPP.  Anyways, why not 2 Xeons?

Call the retailer to make sure the H81 board is on the latest BIOS, you can OC only the G3258 on such boards to maybe @ 4.2 Ghz which is not bad on the stock cooler given for the G3258.

G3258 is the best value CPU and the R9 390 is the best value GPU right now; totally unbalanced, totally the best value components.

There's a best value HDD, but no one needs 6TB for a gaming rig; so 3TB.

The case is a 1992 Nissan Shitbox. It will do.

PSU is sufficient. That is all.

 

 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD2 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($40.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Pareema 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($29.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Toshiba  3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($81.99 @ NCIX US) 
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 390 8GB PCS+ Video Card  ($313.98 @ Newegg) 
Case: Apex SK-393-C ATX Mid Tower Case  ($25.97 @ NCIX US) 
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply  ($38.49 @ SuperBiiz) 
Total: $597.39
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Wah-la.
Technically, the best value gaming rig.

I know, but you can technically game on it and why is it not a real PC? It runs Windows 10...err...MSX

It can run MSX? That's actually pretty surprising. Anyways, its not powerful enough to play ANY modern titles (except for MC which I wouldn't consider a modern title, as its easy to run) and the hardware is non-upgradable (other than add on boards which I'm sure don't really work properly with MSX).

Yeah, it can run MSX IoT Core for free! And Linux (like I needed to tell you that)

Oh, its the Internet of Things edition, so not really MSX.

it handles 4k like a boss toatally crushes titan with All Star onboard graphics

That's some gaming rig you got there.

 

Now in all seriousness, can it even run minesweeper?
