Hello everyone, I'm looking into buying a Pre-Built or manual built gaming PC and needed some help on deciding the specs, and a friend of mine recommended this website to me.

All I need is the specs, I have the accessories already.

I need this PC to be able to run Battlefield 4, Titanfall, and other up to date FPSs at high settings, a high Frames Per Second as well as record them with Nvidia's shadow play, or Dxtory, and upload them to youtube. I know that the budget is quite low, but that's all I've managed to save up for. Please can these specs include every single thing within the system, including the case, motherboard, PSU, cooler etc. And I will be using an ethernet cable to connect to the internet.

And once again, thanks a lot for the help :)

Thanks a lot for the help, but just a few queries, are you sure a water cooler wouldn't do a better job than the 212 evo, and are you sure that 8GB of Ram will be enough for recording the game, editing it, and rendering it in 1080p-1440p HD?

Depends on what cooler you wish to use instead of 212 evo. Its usually a superb cooler until you OC to enthusiast level. For 4.4-4.5GHz, it'd be at par or only a couple of degrees hotter than very few high end water coolers (like H80i/ H100i or the Krakens).

8GB will enough for gaming. To record the game and render it, you migh feel suffocated with 8GB, so you can downgrade the GPU to R9 280X and include 16GB set from the money saved. Both 280X and 290 are very comfortable with ultra, and you'll not see much difference (or we can say only 5-10 FPS) b/w the 2. If you're not planning to use multi monitor, then 280X is the sweet spot for ultra gaming on FHD and 2k.

Thanks for the advice, if I was to go with a water cooler, then it would most likely be, the corsair H80i liquid cooler, I will not be over clocking, and will most likely be choosing your answer as the solution, however I would also like to see some other answers first. :)
