Hey everybody! Basically I'm deciding to build a new PC as this crappy laptop just isn't doing it for me anymore. 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. 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.
So is the following powerful enough to do this?
