That's pretty similar to my machine. It'll run, but the more recent versions will be kind of laggy. You'll probably need to run Optifine to get a playable FPS.

So, what is the max render distance it'll handle, and at what amount of fps? Also, will I be able to use any smooth shading or fancy graphics, or will it have to be all that "set to minimum quality settings (such as minimal particles and disabled sky, other ridiculously low settings like that)" stuff?
CPU - The minimum requirementis "Intel Core i3-3210 3.2 GHz / AMD A8-7600 APU 3.1 GHz or equivalent". The first of those gives a PassMark (CPU benchmark) of 4024; that Atom runs at 1.44Ghz, and gives a PassMark of 1063 - where a higher number is better.
Graphics - integrated Intel HD graphics chipsets have a terrible reputation with Minecraft; if you browse the support forum, you'll see that they are responsible for a massive amount of problems that people report; older ones refuse to run Minecraft at all, because Intel's drivers do not properly support OpenGL. Newer ones often require a specific version of the driver to work, but even then give a poor performance, and often require lowering lots of settings and/or using OptiFine to get it working at all.
It is a cheap, simple, budget all-in-one device; it's unsuited to gaming.
The minimum requirements are wrong, I ran it on a Core 2 Duo with a passmark of 1900 and got a pretty stable 40-60 fps, on medium settings.
Although the Atom X5-Z8350 will struggle to get over 30 fps on even low settings.

What is the cheapest set of custom computer parts that you can find for Minecraft and Terraria gaming specifically?
I have a friend that knows tons about Windows computers and has built many himself, so if you don't know, I'll ask him.

Absolute cheapest? Buy an used desktop with an i5 off eBay for around $150, and throw a GT 1030 in. For under $250 you'll get a computer that will max out Minecraft and Terraria with ease.
Otherwise this build is will do the job + run many other games:

Sorry, I didn't define what I meant. I'll show this to my friend and see if he agrees, because I think he has a degree in that stuff.
But what I meant was, the cheapest computer that can run Minecraft at 60+ fps on fairly high settings.
Thanks, but I already checked that article out. I have a budget of $400, so I need something else. I'm no computer genius, but what Alexx gave me looks pretty decent from what I understand about that so far (which is close to nothing). I'm trying to stay near $300 dollars, but $400 is the limit.

or, if you absolutely don't trust me, I'll take a screenshot of the specs. Screenshot below.
