So to have a it of a back story, I am a teen, and I am trying to start a youtube channel, well I got the $125 for a elgato capture card, and my old netbook isn't compatible, I need 4gb RAM and a 2GHz intel core 2 duo or comparible, sound card, but I am not old enough to get a job, so I don't have a lot of money to get one, so needs to be a it cheaper, I would like to bable to play some games like, Hawken, Planetside 2 and CS:GO, any suggestions for one? Also needs windows so no chromebooks. Thanks guys.

The lenovo y40 would be great, you can get a 5th gen i7 8gb of ram and a discrete graphics card for $650 or you can get this other laptop below, but it isn't nearly as good

I found one much better for $60 more but I recomend spending the extra for the Lenovo y40 that I also linked

Need a budget more than anything else.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

Paul. I was kinda thinking cheaper.I am saying like $350 or so.

I am recording Xbox and PC, I am going to use frapps for the laptop

Well I would spend the extra money and spend $430 because it has an a10 which is more powerful
