I want a gaming pc that would run games like g-mod and day-z at great graphics and I also want to record this footage in the background and I don't want the software that record that footage to lag my game. These are pre built computers that I could buy which one would be the best one for what I want or is nothing here good for what I want.

I agree the FX-4300 + R9-270 is the best of the choices.

Also, in general I don't recommend an APU system for gaming for a few reasons including that you can be bottlenecked by the DDR3 memory if it's not fast enough (and you SHARE it as well so you use some of it).

RECORDING:
You need a solution that uses a VIDEO ENCODER. If you had an NVidia card you could use Shadowplay or OBS. It's possible OBS would work with AMD's VCE but I can't confirm this:

Otherwise you have to use the SOFTWARE method which will really drop your frame rate a lot.
I'm going to start my post with the obligatory "You should just build your own computer" and the "You can ask around here about how to build one or watch youtube videos". Now if that isn't an option for you to do, or you just don't want to then thats fine.

Also First choice is best overall, the one with the FX-4130 and has the best GPU. (well out of these i guess.)

I wont speak ill of any brand or setup, but Day-Z will destroy any and all of those systems.... And I have to agree you stand to get some better quality if you were to build yourself. If your looking to stay around $550 then mabe something like this might be a better fit for you:

FX-8320
AsRock Fatal1ty 990FX
Radeon R9 280 3GB
Seagate Hybrid Drives 500GB
(2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA 500 B 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified 500W
ASUS 24X DVD Burner

$637

or

FX-6300
AsRock Fatal1ty 990FX
Radeon R9 280 3GB
Seagate Hybrid Drives 500GB
(2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA 500 B 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified 500W
ASUS 24X DVD Burner

$607

(Hastily picked from newegg your results may very and cheaper prices are possible depending on what you pick)

Totally forgot an OS... $99 for windows 7 or 8 OEM.

Keep in mind I was trying to find a good mix of inexpensive while keeping excellent quality.
 


I will use an elgato to record and the gameplay and it has it own recording software.
