I need a gaming laptop or desktop for recording my gameplay and streaming it to twitch. It will also be used for video editing but I need on for under $1000 if it's not possible I'll get a desktop but id prefer a laptop. I'm going to be playing minecraft(modded), skyrim(modded), GTA V, GMOD, CS:GO, Payday 2, and the elder scrolls online! Thanks and here are the two laptops I am considering.


Also I have to buy from. Best buy because a lot of my budget is gift cards to best buy.

If there is no way to get what I want out of laptops for my price point(Being able to record gameplay is super important) then I will upgrade to a desktop but my budget is going to be $1000 with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse included, the build would also have to be compatiable with dual monitors. I realize I haven't left you guys an easy task and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out!!!

I would say something like this, you will want a fair bit of storage so I put 2TB of space and an SSD in here. If you don't nee windows say but it looked like you needed it.
