[Ali242]

Hi guys I built this Gaming pc my first ever. And I wanted to know If this is a good build and if I would be able to play demanding games while also recording the footage for YouTube. I would really like to know if this build would be able to support games on high resolutions

Great build, but I suggest you add an SSD to this build if the budget permits it for big performance upgrade in boot time. Also you might want to go with a 600W Power supply because your cutting it kinda close with with 500W it leaves no room for overclocking in the future. Good Luck with your Build

So do you think that it can run demanding games at medium to high resolutions while also recording

If you want to record while doing I would go with 16gb of RAM personally.

Add a solid state drive for Windows and also get a better power supply.
