I need to know if my PC specs will be good for gaming and recording!

[Guest]

Hi there so im currently saving to buy a new PC for myself and I have already choosen the components but im not to sure if they will be good for gaming editing rendering (ect.)

Here is the link to my all of my pc build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/T6s6dC

I just need to know if it will be good for what i mentioned above. I am trying to keep this build under $800 USD so if any of you guys would suggest anything better to replace my parts with please let me know.

Thanks!

Looks good. It'll do what you want it to do. It'll play most games at medium-high settings at decent fps.

If your willing to spend an extra $30-50 I would buy a R9 270 instead:

An 8350 paired with a 990FXA Ud3 or MSI Gaming 970 will render much better.

You don't need a Z-mobo if you don't have a K-CPU.
Don't use a weird RAM amount like 12 unless you want weird stuff to happen, stick to 8 or 16, both won't have problems recording.
That GPU is pretty weak as well.
This build is better balanced and should still be under $800 even with shipping (or pretty close)

Tried to fit as much as I can into a $800 budget, and this is what I came up with.

The 8320e when overclocked will record/stream/render/edit videos nicely, even being on par with an i7 in highly-threaded applications.

Only downside is that the 8320e will run single-threaded games like Starcraft II worse than an i3 will due to poor single-core performance, so keep this in mind.

The R9 280 will run many games on good graphical settings, and can be used to accelerate your rendering/editing by a good margin.

To top it off I chose an excellent quality power supply which should last longer than the whole build itself, and a sturdy and functional case to keep your components nice and safe.
