Not actually, if you are into minecraft modding it will get pretty demanding.

Minecraft uses nothing but CPU power. When I was totally addcited to MC  I tested frame rates out vs an FX 4200, FX 6400, Core i3 forgot which model,Core i5 2500K. The better CPU would always give more FPS. GPU and RAM stayed the same ( HD 7770, 8GB 1600Mhz Corsair Dominator). Like suggested above, go with an FX 6300 and drop the graphics card to a GTX 650 if you want to save a bit of money.

4xxx chips are poop, should have gotten a 6300

if you build is for games then i  see nuthing wrong with a quad core , most games don't use more than 2 to 4 cores anyway ,i run a fx4170 and have had no problem runing mc and and a mc server at the same time on it.

 

what case are you gitting?
