I need a gaming computer that can record (with a software that uses little resources) gaming at mid settings and 720p. I have 2 requirements: a 1 TB MINIMUM HDD
And windows 8.1
Need to be included in the build
Preferences are: gddr5 gpu; 8gbs RAM (not required but requested) GPU Comes first.
I will NOT be playing battlefield 4, I just want to do mainly indie games and maybe some better known horror games while recording. Thanks!!!!

This is the best you can get. You might struggle with recording though. If you want to get good performance while recording, you should save $100-200 more and get an FX CPU and GTX 660.
