Alright, so as you know, Ghosts just came out and I was going to try making a video using my Avermedia Game Capture HD when the quality turned out terrible. (It's an external capture card) So Im thinking about just completely starting over and buying a better computer, and also an Elgato capture card. The thing is, I have no idea what Im doing with computer set-ups or builds.
So could anybody help me by showing me a good computer or build that could easily run the following, the requirements for the Elgato:
PC: Windows 7 or later, 2.0 GHz dual core CPU, sound card
4 GB RAM, built-in USB 2.0 port
Also I want to record commentary at the same time
Thanks in advance!

How much is your budget? Do you need an operating system, monitor, keyboard, mouse?

And Im not quite sure what my budget is yet, it depends on how much I can sell my current laptop for.
Also, I would need a monitor, keyboard, etc (Unless of course there's a laptop that'll work) but it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

If you're editing you are going to want and need a decent amount of ram.

If you need that all then get up to like $800-$1200 for a epic gaming/editing/streaming/what ever else you need it for pc!!!! Monitor is going to be like $130 alone, OS $100, Keyboard/mouse $30-$100. so your already up to like $260 depending on what keyboard and mouse you want.
