Okay thanks for the advice. She wouldn't be upgrading anything after the purchase as she doesn't do much intensive stuff anyways. The only things she'd do on the sides while actively playing minecraft would be youtube/twitch stream.
If I were to reuse her current i3/H81 mobo and add in a GPU + upgrade RAM/SSD do you think it would work? I can get exact specs tomorrow if needed.
her current i3 is a dual core, that i3's I linked is a quad core with better ipc.
If running mc now uses up a lot of her cpu utilization then no it won't improve much.
MC is heavy cpu usage being as its java based, some mods and texture packages are best handled with the gpu though.

If you're streaming something higher than an i3 would be advised
she's watching streams, not streaming content.
