I am looking to build a pc for recording/editing YouTube videos and also a small amount of gaming. Most videos will be recorded from my console (Xbox/ps4) using software with a game capture, microphone, and camera. I would like recommendations for a budget build(around $1000) and a high-end build (around $2000). I am 100% new to this and would greatly appreciate it if you could "dumb-it-down" for me. Thanks
Looking for help building gaming/recording/ editing pc

A $1000 build for light gaming, has everything you need to record, and edit, but less focus on gaming.

$2000 build, has more money available for gaming, a little more horsepower as well for recording/editing. Makes your consoles look like the trash they are. (I could spend more but you won't get much for it)
