That would do the thing for you, It has 8 gigs of ram and minecraft while recording with shaders will probably max out at 5gigs of usage. You have a 1tb hdd for recording onto. And the video card will have no problem picking up 60 frames plus while recording minecraft with shaders. I don't know too much about using the shaders but I do know the requirements and they would be fine. You could also record games like bf3 and play bf4 and well have run with that computer.
