So... I am thinking in build a computer for gaming and recording at the same time
and I don't know if It will be able to handle my needs and also if it will overheat or not,
can someone please take away my doubts and help me?

the computer build I wanna build is this one:

power supply 600w (the power supply I own already)

motherboard:
Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

processor: Amd Fx-8350 Vishera 4.2 Ghz Turbo

Hard Drive: SSD kingston 240gb ssdnow v300

Ram:
16GB DDR3 1600mhz

Video Card:
Sapphire R9 270x 2GB dual-x 256 bits radeon DDR5

Webcam USB Full HD 1080p 30 fps

so... it's good enough? I am worried about the compability, power supply and overheat.
I heard that the sapphire has 2 cooler built in it already, will it over heat?
I will need to buy coolers or can I only turn on the air conditioner 24 hours?

A few changes I would recommend:


Motherboard:

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P - 8+2 phase power with a great OC BIOS and LLC, better supports the power requirements of an FX 8 core.


RAM:

DDR3 1866 - Not a big help in gaming but will help when capturing/streaming/editing video


Aftermarket CPU Cooler:

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or better - this is a great baseline budget cooler than can handle an FX 8350 at stock or with a mild OC around 4.4-4.5GHz. Just don't go crazy.


PSU:

Get a quality PSU. Here's Tom's community tiered list:

HDD:

Use a 2nd hard drive just for captures/editing. Do not install anything or use it for anything else. Make sure indexing and page file are not enabled for this 2nd capture HDD.


FX 8 core is excellent for capture/streaming and some video editing.

For reference, here's a sample video, capturing from a fairly well optimized MMO, during a huge zerg event. Pause at 7 sec for specs.

thank you I guess ._. I don't really mind about the overclocking.
but can you say to me if there is any difference about the DDR3 Vengeance 1866mhz blue and red? they're the same? just different colors? if not what should I pick?

the Asrock X-boost to overclock machines just by pressing X after turning the computer on is safe? how do I know it's enabled or not? I have to press it every time I restart my computer? and what if I wanna turn off .-. can I disable without having to restart? also if its not good, how I do the mild overclock you've said without overheating my computer? by the way I am gonna buy the cooler you said. thank you for the advices \ o /

I use Ripjaws X, but do not have experience with the Vengeance.

When you overclock, you need to read up on it. You overclocking software will have some pre-sets and you could try one of them, starting at about 4.4Mhz. However, the preset overclocks tend to use more voltage than is needed. If you read up about it and work a step at a time, you will understand the process and be able to tune things manually.
