Yes very well. BTW that build will not fit in the small case I asked if you would want it.

Can you recommend me a different case then? In my budget range too? Because the case you supplied me with only has 2 usb ports and not one 3.0 port. Also, the storage you supplied i couldnt find for sale, so could this do http://goo.gl/YRNjE0 ?

Sure I changed the motherboard, RAM, Monitor.
Motherboard: if you don't plan on overclocking you can save yourself $50 by getting a cheaper motherboard
RAM: Switched it to duel channel kit better for motherboard
Monitor: Changed it to a cheaper one that has 2ms Response Time (the old one was 1ms but $40 more)

Alright, thanks, you also, changed the processor. Will the 808$ build still run games on max settings or almost max settings while recording?

Oh the CPU: While the 8-core is better, most games and programs don't use 8-cores or even 6-cores in alot of cases.
Depends the game and the solfware. I can however say it will do alot better than that laptop.

The RAM will work, it'll just be under clocked but if you don't want that try this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/pny-memory-md8192kd31333

Since i want to stick to DDR3 1600 RAM i changed my motherboard. Would this still all work together? Or no? The CPU is still compatible? Along with everything else. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/rlaxing/saved/3LDs
