AMD Gaming/Recording/Streaming PC

[PorkyChoUk]

Hello everyone,

 

 

Before you say anything, I just want to say that I am on a tight budget and I can't go with intel.

 

So What I want to do with my amd pc is to be able to record games from medium to high settings but also being able to record those games at a good fps 30-60fps. Games I will be playing are minecraft, CS.GO, ETS2, Skyrim, gmod. 

 

I also want to edit my videos, so i want rendering times to be fast.

 

Please include a ssd for the boot drive with windows 7 64bit if possible, YOU MUST INCLUDE WINDOWS 7 64BIT.

 

 

My budget of course is £500-£550

 

 

Thank you,

I'd hold off on the ssd for now as it won't affect gaming performance whatsoever.
