Hey everybody! Basically I'm deciding to build a new PC as this crappy laptop just isn't doing it for me anymore. I need help with parts. I'm building it primarily for recording games (I'll be using Mirillis Action if you were wondering) and editing those videos in Sony Vegas Pro. I want to be able to render decently fast. Now my budget is about 1k but make it as cheap as possible. Sadly I need monitor, OS, and a wifi adapter as my Modem is very far from my room, to far for a ethernet cable. I want to be able to play the following games well while recording them on I don't care what settings.
DayZ SA, Arma 2 DayZ Mod, The Forest, Space Engineers, The Stomping Land, Cube World, Minecraft, Battlefield Hardline, H1Z1, Rust, And Possibly GTA V.
Also any benchmarks would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.
 
USD $1000 ?

I have edited this one a bit and I'm wondering if this will still be powerful enough to play the games and stuff I want.

Thank you for the info I'll make sure to use the one you gave me and change a coupe things with it, the case, and add in wifi adapter which I actually didn't do before.
