I'm trying to build a better computer to record and edit gaming footage on, my current one isn't cutting it. But I'm not exactly sure what specs I need. I'm OK with going for the minimum on the graphics cards and RAM if that is needed to keep the price lowish. Anyone have any suggestions?
Need help with a PC for recording gameplay.

1) What is your current PC?
2) What is your budget on the new one?
3) Do you overclock?
4) What resolution do you play at?

1) A low level laptop, I'm surprised it still works after all the work I've made it do.
2) It really depends, I'm shooting for around a thousand USD. I'm OK with getting the minimum then upgrading later.
3) Never done so before and unless I need to in order to get playable performance I see no reason why I would.
4) Right now I record windowed at 1280x720, full-screened is 1400x900, but I would like to be able to run games on a 1440p monitor while recording at 1920x1080. But I'm fine with just going for a 1080 monitor.

Chose that PSU in case you want Crossfire. If not, a 650W GS or G2 unit will do.
