I need a new computer for my youtube channel. My budget is $1000 and i need the computer to be able to record minecraft smoothly, and be able to edit/render videos using movavi video suite. and also, movavi had a function where i can record my skype, so i fifgured i could record minecraft, and use that function at the same time, and it worker almost perfectly. but the problem was it made the game SO laggy, to the point where no one would want to watch. and i MIGHT be able to build it, but i would need you to pick out the parts on http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ then send the link. thank you SO much if you have any sugestons

That is a very well balanced rig, so it shouldn't lag too badly when recording and gaming at the same time. Minecraft will not be an issue, as the whole game itself uses less than 2-3 GB of RAM, plus recording is about 5-6GB.

the multiple cores, again, will be great for your intended purposes. But overclocking will get you even better performance PER core ;] if that makes sense. So when running applications side by side they would run even faster.
 


You have to remember that this is EXTREMELY difficult to see in anything other than a benchmark. In order to actually see a difference, you would need a HUGE overclock. Even at stock clocks, the CPU will be more than enough for OP's needs. He doesn't need to overclock. Overclocking on modern CPUs is more a hobby than for additional performance really.
