Upgrade Advice

[JustJollyJonah]

So Guys, I have been wanting to do YouTube stuff for the past two years.

But i feel like my PC isn't really capable of recording games very well, I'm kinda looking for an upgrade but i don't know what to upgrade tbh, My budget is around 300-400 Euros

Now i have these specs:

CPU: AMD FX-4100

GPU: AMD Radeon HD6870

HDD: 500GB Seagate Barracuda

PSU: 600W Huntkey APFC 600

MOBO: MSI 760GM-p23

I don't need any accesoires or anything.

Where are you shopping from?

Dude tell full specs, not like 500gb but which brand 

And never go with random PSU. 
 

Never.

Without knowing too much, my recommendations would be:

 

Get a new psu. Something like a cx500 should do.

Upgrade you gpu to a 7850 or 7870. 

Get an ssd like a samsung 840 120GB for a primary drive and/or get a dedicated hard drive for recording.

 

The two possible problems I can think of are either your hdd is slow and that having a dedicated hdd to record to should help (in this case, getting an ssd should free up your current hdd as the dedicated recording drive), or that your gpu is too weak in general.

Is Italy close to you or is it Germany so I can us pcpartspicker  to help you with your build

[JustJollyJonah]

I live in the netherlands, so germany would be alright i think ( sorry i'm a complete nube at this) 

[JustJollyJonah]

And I don't have a Full HD Monitor either but i don't think it will be necessary as i probably won't be able to record in 1080p Anyways

I searched high and low on the pc info highway to get you the best build on budget of 400 euros but alas I went 25.35 over budget because you forgot to add in memory & a case Sorry me lad I had to forgo the video card but don't be discouraged because it has onboard graphics as a Radeon hd 7000 graphics card here is my suggestion & videos for your build    http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/1gAzO

I am so sorry for the miscommunication but as a fellow techie specs is usually a piece of data and doesn't state to having the parts, I  will suggest you  update that part of your explanation to ( these are the parts I already have ) and let us start a new line of attack

For a 770, you'd want a new psu anyway.

Get a 7850/7870, a new psu, and a new ssd/cpu. Since you want to do Youtube stuff, you'll want more than 2 cores to makes videos. It's doable though.
