I found this computer at The Source and thought it was a good deal, but im not sure. Here is the computer: http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?product=8007202&language=en-CA&utm_campaign=bazaarvoice&utm_medium=SearchVoice&utm_source=RatingsAndReviews&utm_content=Default

I would like to play games on low-med, possibly 1080p, whilst recording. Here is a list of games:

Elder Scrolls Online (I know this is very demanding)
Minecraft
Call of Duty Ghosts
Watch Dogs (when it comes out)
GTA 5 (if it comes out for pc)
Bf4 (Very demanding)
Euro truck simulator 2
American truck simulator (when it comes out)
And other small indie games.

Is this a good computer?

The APU in that system is not going to handle some of those games well at all. Check out some of the frame rates in this article http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/trinity-gaming-performance,3304.html. Only two of the games they tested were even playable at 1080p, and those were at the lowest settings in games with very low graphics requirements. That might not be a terrible system for surfing the web or watching youtube videos, but to play the games you mentioned, you should really have a better CPU and a decent video card.
