Hey guys,

So right now I have a YouTube channel with 4k subs, but I'm only recording from a console, and I want to start recording games like prop-hunt and Minecraft. And I'd like to keep it to $600 or less with the ability to upgrade in the future. So I just need a simple case and I'll probably just find a cheap keyboard and monitor somewhere.

Also, I may need an OS unless there's a way to get it for free?

Thanks!

This should do nicely for now and you can upgrade if you want to in the future;

Upgrade wise, you'll want to add an SSD first, then upgrading to an i5/i7 would be the next upgrade, add a CPU cooler if you want to overclock the i5/i7. The R9 280 is a great card but it's kind of a mid ranged GPU sao you could upgrade that too, after adding an SSD, CPU cooler and upgrading CPU.

Thank you for posting this! This is helping me as well trying to build a pc for the same price!

I'll definitely look into this build after I check some things out.

Thanks man!

Will you be recording with software or hardware? If you're going to use software ( fraps ) then youll need a 2nd hdd to store and record the videos too.

No, he wouldn't. If he's using software to record, he can record a couple videos at a time, upload them and once they're uploaded, they can be deleted from the HDD to save space. 1TB is more than enough for him.

Im not talking about space, im talking about FPS lag. If he records and runs everything on one hdd, his videos will lag, no matter what gpu or cpu he has. I record videos all day and I know exactly what im talking about.
