Hello everyone,

I am looking to run games like Minecraft and Sims on high settings, with the potential to run more graphically intense games on normal settings.
Also, I would like to use video capture software, such as OBS or Fraps, and maintain minimum 60fps in-game.
On the side, I would like to be able to edit videos, design vectors, animate (2D/3D) most likely with Adobe products or something similar.

Will the setup below be able to handle all that?
Is this system is compatible in general?

Thanks in advance!
