Looking for a PC build between $700-$800 that can handle an Elgato HD60 S perfectly

[callmedonny14]

Looking to be recording gameplay only, no streaming. I don’t know much about PC building so if anyone can throw something good together, it’ll be helpful!!

The requirements for the Elgato HD60 S are:

• Windows 10 (64-bit)
• 4th generation quad‑core Intel Core i5 CPU (i5-4xxx or comparable)
• Intel HD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series or VCE 3.x compatible AMD graphics (or better)
• 4 GB RAM, built-in USB 3.x port
• Internet connection

7400 vs 8400... http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8400-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7400/3939vs3886

1060: 6gb vs 3gb... http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB/3639vs3646

The build above is much more powerful. I think you should stick to it.

Edit: Not to mention these prebuilds usually always comes with crappy PSU.

Windows can be activated anytime down the line. There will be no difference in performance... https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/
