Hi all!
I want to make a gaming rig for making gaming YouTube videos. I will be playing high-stress games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc. while recording the gameplay using Dxtory to then edit in Sony Vegas Pro and upload to YouTube.
Here are the specs for a custom build I have selected (please say if there is anything you think will not be up to the strain):
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+
CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Red 16GB DDR3-1866
Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 960 4GB
PSU: EVGA 500W 80 Plus
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6 Gb/s 7200RPM
SSD: Integral 240GB P Series 4 SATAIII
The part I am worried about is the CPU. I have heard a lot about the FX-8350 not being as good as Intel i5 processors. I chose the FX-8350 for it's 8 cores and the fact that it is overclockable. I don't want any when editing my videos and assumed that because the AMD has twice as many cores as a Skylake i5 that it would be faster in multitasking and not cause any lag when editing video.
Is the FX-8350 good enough for lagless video editing? If not, what CPU and Motherboard would you all recommend? My budget is around £650 and I can go a little more expensive than the AMD, but I'd prefer not to.
EDIT: I forgot to add, I do want to overclock, so if the FX-8350 is not good enough, please could you recommend an overclockable CPU? Thanks!
Thank you in advance!
P.S. I'm sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I haven't been able to find an answer specific for my needs.
