Yes, you should get upwards of 400 FPS, well beyond what you need to play.
The only thing I would change is get an i5 instead of an i3, so your computer is future proof. But you would have to spend ~100 dollars more, although the i3 is powerful enough to play just about every game there currently is.
About the PSU, you should be fine with a 750W instead of an 850

Thanks! I'm going with 850w so I have more than enough room for OCing.

Looks like a nice computer, should run Minecraft just fine. However, you will still most likely not run at above 60 FPS with Optifine Max Settings, as Minecraft is a rather CPU and GPU Intensive program. I personally have a computer much like yours, except with a more expensive CPU([email protected]), along with only a single EVGA GTX 570.
I figure I'll go ahead and critique some of your parts though (I'm no expert, just knowledge from my previous builds)
Mobo - Looks fine
CPU - Would be better to get an i5 for gaming, along with handling multiple processes. i5's are also quite easy to overclock, making them essentially an i7.
Ram - You should be fine here, but, unless you plan on upgrading in the very near future, you may just want to get 4x2GB, instead of 2x4. Most current day motherboards seem to be set up to run better that way, compared to the older ones.
GPU - Looks fine, might want to look around for some cheaper prices though, for equivelant GPU's.
HDD - Pay an extra $20, and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834
OS - Fine
PSU - You will be more than fine with an 850, but if you are needing the extra cash I would personally bump it down to a 800, to leave room for upgrades, along with saving some money.

Yeah I'm probably not actually gonna play far view, as it can be rather useless at times. I'm on a budget of $900, so I cant go with i5. Also I won't go with SSD as I've seen a lot of reviews on some stating major reliability issues (mostly sandforce drives), so im just gonna deal with decreased loading times. Lastly, SSDs are freaking expensive as hell! If I had more money tho, id probably go with a WS VelociRaptor.
This will be fine, I only have 4GB RAM (upgrading soon) and I get amazing quality, even when recording and doing other stuff.
Of course, my i5 processor helps a lot:P

-snipity-
Minecraft doesn't take much to run, i have 2GB RAM a 6790 GPU and an E5400 CPU, and I get around 100 FPS with max settings.
All without Optifine.
I find it funny how I help people with computers, yet mine is pretty out dated lol
You WON'T get just 60FPS with max settings. I have a far worse PC than what you are buying (3.16 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and a Nvidia 9800GT) and I get around 100 FPS on highest settings without Optifine running a 128x texture pack just fine. The other guy probably has another problem which is unrelated to his hardware if he is only getting 60FPS with a computer like that. Also, try using 64-bit Windows instead of 32-bit, as Minecraft might give you some issues on 32-bit.
Like I said, I won't be using far view AND far render distance. (Just Far render distance is plenty). Also I will be getting Windows 7 x64. I'm expecting about 400 FPS on max FPS and 60 with vsync.
Also would I be able to get the Zotac 560 Ti instead of the EVGA without a change in performance? From the looks of it, the Zotac has better cooling, but is $10 more than the EVGA. Any thoughts?
It looks like you got a super high-end video card but a middle end processor, which could bottleneck performance. Try getting a GTX 550 instead and upgrade your processor to an i5.

I've just been hearing that some people think the 550 ti is a disappointment. Plus I want as much graphics power as I can get. Besides, I can always upgrade to an i5 in the near future and give the i3 to my little sister when she starts building her rig. Also, is the Zotac good, or should I go with the EVGA?
Thanks! I'm going with 850w so I have more than enough room for OCing.

You never 850w for oc a GPU!

Desktop (not yet built): i7 2600k/3770k, Gtx 680 DCII/Twin Frozr III, 16gb ram, 2TB Seagate hard drive, 500R/650D. psu that I haven't decided on yet
1. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P67X-UD3-B3 (SLi Certified) $114.99
2. CPU: Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.3 GHz $127.98
3. RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz (will still have 2 slots left for upgrading) $41.04
4. GPU: EVGA nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti 448 cores FTW edition $259.99
5. HDD: WD Caviar Green 750 GB Sata III 7500AARX $99.99
6. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium $99.99
7. PSU: Corsair TX 850M semi-modular $118.79
(everything else is totally irrelevant)
I listed my PSU since I want to know also if it'll be enough to power 2 GTX 560 Ti 448's in SLi under load.
So, what performance might I get?
I'm not new, but I don't know my threads very well XD
LOL on max setting with far view(optifine) i think i might, but that'd add a ton of heat and reduce the life of my comp. a bit (maybe)
