This is close*** to being as cheap as you're going to get buying new.

CPU: The old standby. The little champ that could. I thought he was retired but... Were this for a normal gaming build I would suggest you drop a few extra bucks and go with a Ryzen 1200 for the extra two cores. But Minecraft only needs one fast core. And this cheap little chip has exactly that.
Mobo: Currently the cheapest B250 board... so no flashing the bios crap that would be required to go cheaper. It's not fancy but has what you need.
RAM: Single 8gb stick. Cheapest out there currently. You can upgrade to 16gb down the road with the remaining ram slot.
SSD: Debated this for awhile. This is only going to have enough space for your OS, Minecraft and a couple of other small things. But they will all be blazing fast. You could, for the same price, get a WD blue 1TB if you value space over speed.
GPU: Couldn't find the exact one you have to link, but you already have it so /shrug
Case: Cheap. But looks good. It's cheap.
PSU: Here's where that *** comes in. You could go cheaper here. But you never cheap out on a PSU. This one is a good brand with a 5 year warrenty. Some $15 back alley job might fry your PC. This won't.
OS: Windows 10 key from a 2nd party site. Buy the protection plan and you have no worries. If morally "grey" is against your paladin like code of ethics... then allocate an extra $50 to get a copy directly from Windows.

Finally if your worried about the dual core, you can always upgrade it down the road with a Kaby i5 or even i7 non-k chip when the kid's interest shift to modern Triple A titles. It will just be plug and play as they are compatible with everything else listed.

Hi ovm33,

Thank you for your response, especially the reasoning of why you chose those parts.

I have just acquired a HP 110-243w Desktop PC and wondering if it's worth salvaging any of those parts.

Thanks!

The hard drive, but still get an SSD, not sure on A-data as a brand, though, would recommend kingston (11$ more) over it.

Hi Cyrops,

I appreciate your valuable input! I will take the kingston SSD into consideration when asking my friend to cough up some money.

Thanks!
