Hi, can anyone recommend a decent gaming pc for minecraft and steam gaming (rocket league, gang beasts, etc). It will also be used for recording Youtube videos so needs to be able to handle that as well. Would appreciate any help as I don't know much about PC's. Thanks.

For a system to record well during game play for a pre-built you will be about at the limit of our budget. Something like this would be OK, although it uses a lower quality power supply for a gaming system like almost all lower end pre-build systems https://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-gamer-intel-core-i5-7400-kaby-lake-8gb-ddr4-6gb-evga-gtx-1060-1tb-hdd-win-10

Don't really know the local market, but the CPU and video card are good for gaming.

This is also OK, has a solid state hard drive which I like having in a system https://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-gamer-intel-core-i5-7400-kaby-lake-8gb-ddr4-4gb-xfx-rx-480-240gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-win-10

Sorry, ideally below £900 and yes pre-built as I wouldn't know what to do with parts. Basically the cheapest gaming PC that can run rocket league, etc. while recording without lag and with good graphics. I'm in the UK.

Ok, thank you for the suggestions! What would you say is the minimum PC specifications I would need to record while gaming? (Sorry I really don't know anything about PC's). Would something like this be good enough: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/lenovo-ideacentre-y700-gaming-pc-10152730-pdt.html

For a lower spec game it will be OK, but you are not saving much for last generation technology. The 1060 is quite a bit faster than the 960 card.

I second this, and will also recommend hang-the-9's first system. The 1060 is significantly faster than the 960; the RX480 4GB is also a good choice (slightly slower *maybe* but that can change with software improvements), and an SSD is a *huge* quality-of-life improvement (starting up, starting games, starting applications etc are *much* faster).
