So i wanted to build a PC for about 600 pounds, what i need it for is playing games like space engineers, Rome:total war 2 smoothly and i want to record some of the gameplay for youtube so i wondered how powerfull does it need to be, should i use a AMD or Nvidia Card/GPU and what motherboard would it need. if anyone would give me an overview of the specs i need that would be great

That's assuming you need a copy of windows.
With regards to recording, AMD graphics cards use a program called Raptr and nvidia cards use Shadowplay

that looks really good ! all that iam concerned about is the proccesor, as i am not sure weather an intel processor wouldn't be better, or does more cores give more performance while multitasking ? (recording and playing + skype for example is my standard configuration)
