Is this Pc good for recording gameplay/editing?

[voltsnake13]

I want to know if i can record gameplay, stream and edit gameplay with this PC, my budget is around £500-£650

CPU: i5 7500
GPU: gtx1050 ti
Ram: 16gb ddr4
OS: windows 10
hard drive: 1Tb 7200rpm
i want to play games like CS:GO H1z1 and PUBG at a decent resolution, i can get 35-50FPS easily on 1080p (on low settings) with my a10-9700 with integrated graphics (Radeon R7)

For recording, editing & streaming I would go with Ryzen 5 over Kabylake i5. That software will run better with a 6 core (12 thread) CPU.

Ok i like the idea that the Ryzen 5 1600 is the same price as a i5 7500 and yet i saw the benchmark was significantly higher, only problem is with that is i don't want to build the PC and i'd rather buy the PC as a whole so that wouldn't work

I'm not too familiar with sites that do prebuilt systems in the UK however I'm sure you could find one around your budget. Any reason you don't want to build one? It's pretty easy and IMHO it's a fun learning experience. Plus you usually get higher quality parts when you build it yourself, prebuilt sites like to use cheap motherboards you can overclock on and worse yet, cheap PSU's.

im new to Pc's and i feel like i'll blow up my PC if i try and build it, i found a Pc £100 more expensive but its an i7 7700, think that'll help?

 

[WildCard999]

The i7-7700 is a good CPU, it has 4 cores/8 threads which would help with the editing/streaming. As far as building it there's plenty of guides online, as long as you followed them carefully and with the help of us TH users it shouldn't be too bad.

Ok so i found out my that my friend streams csgo with an i3 6100 gxt1050ti and he barely lags at all, watching his stream it looks very nice and he uses OBS as well, on youtube with an i5 6400 gtx1050ti people have been streaming on high settings at 200fps, i5 7500 ik is better so maybe it isn't too bad for streaming? Recording i can just use nvidia shadowplay and rendering should be much faster than my current A10 which runs on an Am4+ socket

Well CSGO is a very easy game to run so streaming it on a i3/1050ti would be fine but a newer AAA shooter such as BF1 wouldn't go as smoothly.
