any suggestions on better or equal parts for roughly the same price or anywhere where i can downgrade (possibly the RAM) to save money and still run minecraft maxed out easily. also is all of this compatible.

Thanks in advance
 
First of all, you've put a laptop hard drive in there (2.5"). You want a 3.5" one.

Second, I'll link you to the parts I recommend on my favourite site :) I'll edit this post with the links when I'm done.

4GB of RAM is more than plenty for Minecraft :)
What are you doing about an OS? Chances are you'll want Windows; do you have a copy or will you need to get one?
 
first of all thanks for the reply and oops about the hard drive lol. and i will be using windows 7 which i am buying so my brother can use that (assuming once you have the windows 7 disc you can use it on multiple computers, can you confirm.)

dont need a monitor as will be using tv.

You can use the same disc however many times you like, however the license key can be active on one system at a time. A Retail key can be used on more than one system but not at the same time - if you want to use it on a system you need to remove it from the previous system. OEM keys can only ever be used on a single system.
There are several easy ways around these restrictions, however it would against the forum rules to help you in that.

*Beeeeoooow*
