Its an okay build nothing amazing, try and use a different program other than fraps to record also. It produces large files. I would really reccomend an i5 haswell chip.. Theyre alot better for gaming, but since youre editing aswell I would actually say thats a good choice of chip for that budget. Plus, you dont want to be adding anything else to that build really, unless you get a larger power supply.

You should post this thread to "New builds and planning" section because there's more expert in there than here, but I guess someone would probably see this here...

 

In my personal opinion, I think your build is fine. If I would suggest anything, I'll say "Don't use FRAPS!". FRAPS uses a lot of cpu process, and you might lower your fps while playing which is not fun trust me. Use DXTORY instead or anything. And also, if you havent buy these yet, I say, invest on an nVidia graphics card because at sometime soon, nVidia will release a new dirver update which include SHADOWPLAY which will be helpful on what you're planning to do.
