Is This A Good Gaming Computer?

[MySnipeDown]

Hi, I'm getting a computer for christmas that's $995. I like to record my gameplay with FRAPS and make videos. I need a computer that can run Battle Field around 50fps. I'm not worried about playing on the highest settings. The parts I have chosen so far for the computer are:

RAM:
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600

Sound Card:
Encore ENM232-8VIA

Case:
Antec GX700 ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply:

I'm worried that this computer won't be able to play the games that I want to play and won't be able to record it with good FPS if it can. Please help me!

No, this is a horrible mess.

You have a LOW end CPU (worse than an i3). You need an i5 4xxx or fx8320 to not bottleneck that GPU and make it worthless.

Too much RAM. Get 16gb MAX for video editing.

No need for a sound card.

CPU cooler is worse than the stock cooler.

PSu is 100% trash. It could even fry the whole computer. Get an Antec, XFX,Seasonic Corsair only.

Do you have any suggestions for a motherboard? 🙂

That depends what CPU you go with.

Do you think that and Intel Core i7 3770K would be a good one?

If you can spend $35 more , this build is a beast and will eat up games for breakfast. (not literally because that'd be scary as hell)
Anyway I suggest the build I posted.

As the build you posted is no good for the premium price your paying.

And also why fraps nvidia gtx 600/700 comes with shadowplay which is much better recorder than fraps.

For gaming, no. Unless you are encoding video or rendering large 1hour or more HD projects an i5 will be plenty. An i5 and an i7 perform identical in games.
