Hello! Once again I'm VERY sorry for all of the BS I have been posting about builds around this price. But I was wondering what I could do for a small form factor/portable Gameplay Recording/Gaming/Editing PC for around $700. I use programs like After Effects, Sony Vegas, Photoshop, and Blender. I play games like Minecraft(with shaders), Battlefield 4, and GMod. I was thinking mATX or smaller(maybe a node 304 or bitfenix prodigy).

 

Thanks!

I wouldn't try to OC on that motherboard else it'll melt, it will be perfectly fine at stock though. You should be able to max out nearly any game you throw at it.

I know, in his previous posts he didn't need storage. That CPU isn't compatible with that motherboard.

How does that look? It got up too $717 without MIRs including shipping. I chose a 760 instead of a 7950 because It is almost as powerful and I use CUDA, and I am interested in shadowplay.

Could you explain why you keep using a 7950? I am thinking about going with it.

I just looked and I dont think newegg carries a 7950 of that price.

They do. There's a link to it in the build... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

so do you think that would be good for streaming/recording/editing?

There's no point getting a k series cpu for a h81 mobo. 

also, it'd be nie to have a dedicated drive for recording which is why I recommended a ssd + hdd. 

 

look at what I recommended.

I run on a 500GB Seagate Barracuda, and I have a 1TB WD Green partitioned 50/50 for recordings & other media.
