Budget PC for recording/gaming?

[BorealBlueRoo]

I'm looking for a PC build that can record/livestream games, and just be able to play them. My budget is $900 CANADIAN (I think that's $820 American, but I'm not sure). I would also like to have a micro-atx or a mini-itx case/build if possible. Thanks!

P.S: Please make sure everything is compatible

I decided to go with the FX6300, instead of an FX 8000 series CPU. There are like no games that actually use more than 4 cores, so saving a few bucks on the FX6300 is a good idea. So, with the extra money, I gave you an MSI r9 270 TF gaming edition. Not only does this card look sick, but it could run circles around the gtx 750 and 750ti, and maybe, maybe even the 660 (maybe). As well, I hate NVIDIA/AMD PC's, just cause, and I've seen some minor issues when AMD CPU's are paired with NVIDIA cards, so its best just to avoid issues here. As well, I own the r9 270, and it plays every game, maxed out (fx6300, 4gb 1600mhz ram, 970 chipset). As for the motherboard, I don't know why you want a uATX (micro ATX) motherboard, as most models have the low end 760 chipset, which is, as you might expect, kinda bad. I would overclock if I were you. I decided to give you an Asus motherboard instead of Gigabyte, because if you spend less than $80 on a Gigabyte motherboard, good chance you will get a dud (I have had 2). Nothing else really is special, except for the 34gb SSD, which you can load Win8 onto to boot up faster, or maybe put a few frequently played games on it, which will really increase your frame rates. Hope this helps! Good luck!
