I want to know if this PC would be a good gaming PC. I'll mainly play minecraft but i'll also be editing videos and mining dogecoin too, just not as often. I have $20 to spare so let me know if I can add anything onto this build. Thanks

I would go with this. IF you could can make some room for a tad bigger of a budget.

You would have to change those prices to exclude Microcenter.

YOu can order parts off microcenter...

I would go more for this. The main differences are that this power supply is semi-modular, the RAM is dual channel, and the motherboard is cheaper but comes with a CPU cooler you can overclock with. The video card also has a better cooler IMO.

I wouldn't go with Intel at this price range, you could get much more from overclocking the FX 6300.
