Good evening everyone, I'm looking at this gaming pc and yes I know nothing about gaming pcs. I'm looking to buy for my nephew who wants a good pc to record his ps4 game play and audio from his mic, also some video editing so he can upload to youtube. Was hoping for some feedback to see if this pc can handle the newer games while having a record going. Thank you.

It comes with the 7600k

To answer OP's question yes this PC can handle anything, but it has some odd specs that make it hard to justify the price tag

Thanks for the info about it being able to handle the regular usage, not sure what the odd specs are since I'm not a pc gamer. I'm okay with his price tag if it can do what he needs it to do and if it has the memory for video editing.

I'm okay with this price tag or one that's about two hundred more. As I stated I know nothing about pc computers so I don't know what is a good price for one.
 


Case :: Thermaltake Chaser A21 Gaming Case - Black
^ Cheap case, but it will get the job done

Processor :: Free Upgrade to Intel i5-7600K Processor
^ Good CPU, will handle anything

Processor Cooling :: Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler - Standard 120mm Fan
^ Never heard of it, but most watercoolers are pretty good

Memory :: 8 GB [4 GB x2] DDR4-2400 Memory Module
I would expect 16gb for this price

Video Card :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 6GB (VR-Ready)
^ 6gb version of this card is good

Storage :: 1 TB HARD DRIVE
^ I would want a 120gb or 240 gb SSD to go with the 1tb HDD, solid state drives make the whole system more responsive

Motherboard :: MSI Z270 PC Mate -- 3x PCIe x16, 1x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C, 6x USB 3.1 Gen1[Intel Optane Ready]
Cheap but gets the job done

Power Supply :: 400 Watt - Standard 80 PLUS Bronze - Free Upgrade to 1000W Standard 80 PLUS Bronze
It is very rare for a prebuilt pc to have a good quality, branded power supply in it. This one is no exception

Final thoughts: You don't need to go for an overclockable CPU (denoted with a K at the end) if you're a novice, you could save cost by getting a non-OC chip such as the i5-6500, i5-7500, i5-7600 as it would allow for a cheaper motherboard and cooling option to go with it.

Hope this helps
 
They have a configurator page, it's a little overpriced but I've seen worse. they have to make money somewhere I guess:

https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Intel-B250-Configurator

Choose

- i5-7500 or 7600 (the 7600 is $24 more but does come with a free 'K' upgrade, not necessary but would help with resale in years to come)-
- 16gb ram
- GTX 1060 6gb
- Any motherboard
- Corsair CX750m power supply (Far higher rating than what you need but the others are all low quality)
- "professional wiring" for $20 extra lol, this should be standard
- 1tb WD Blue hard drive
- 250gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD
- Add a wireless network card if you want

Comes to about $1,300
