I have an AMD A4-7300 with a gtx 950 and Minecraft runs 90-110fps plus. This APU is not the best. So your pick on CPU will be good for a while.

Then an i5 sounds about right, GTA V can be pretty demanding

You can run Minecraft at Ultra settings with Hairworks on that chip.

Just make sure you have at least 1gb of vram, lol.

the 6600K should handle minecraft quite well

if it doesnt then not much cpu on the market can

 

do you have an overclocking board? seeing how you opted for an overclocking chip

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

I had a Pentium G3258 OCed to 3.8GHz for a while until I upgraded to an i5-4590. It (the Pentium) got 60+ FPS on highest settings with Optfine (16 chunks render distance).

What GPU do you have? I get more than 60 on a 4790k...

 

No OP, you don't need more than 4 cores for Minecraft. An i5 is a great choice.

Like I said, my 4790k and 970 get much better than that... so... I guess we need to go through your MC settings and mods.

Unless you have an idea as to what the issue is.

What do you have it clocked to, -200MHz?

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
