So i am trying to make my first good gaming computer where i can render video too. I want a computer where i can play the top games that are out and be able to record them on max settting without lag at all, for good video quality, i have around 1500-1700 budget, and i already have some pieces in mind, but i don't know if i should change some, for better gaming quality! I also don't know which graphic card to go with so far i have this and if i can get any tips on what i should change to make it better id be awesome!!

I don't know much about computers, so i don't know what's best, and i think im mostly conserned about the graphic card, where i think getting a 680 or 670 would be better than 2 7850's since i can add one later on if its not enough, or something. Please any advice would be appreciated since i need something really good for best video quality while recording with fraps which lowers your FPS BY A LOT.

Right now i have a laptop with a 570M and 12 gigs of ram, and tbh i need something way better than this, because with fraps on i can barely record anything without dropping from 30 fps, so i record at 15-20 fps and the videos look like ***, and it's not even the highest graphics.... It's on the lowest.

i7 3770k
Asrock z77 Extreme 4
Radeon 7850 x 2
G-Skill 16 Gb (8 Gb x 2 preferred)
XFX Core Edition Pro 650W
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Corsair 500R
Windows Pro 64 Bit

My suggestion for the motherboard would be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643
Which of course depends on if you are going with a intel or amd cpu (as i noticed you have a amd motherboard included). As for the case I have used both of those cases from corsair and currently own the 600t, so either one will be a joy to use. No experience with a antec case at all but from looking at pics and reviews I see nothing wrong with it as well.

SO heres the new list.

Windows Pro 64 Bit
2tb Western Digital Caviar Black
Crucial M4 64GB SSD
ROG Crosshair V formula
Gtx 670/680 or 7970 some reviews saids it better O_O but it's cheaper than 680?
G-Skill or mushkin 16 Gb (8 Gb x 2)
XFX Core Edition Pro 750W or OCZ Fatal1ty 750W Modular or ENERMAX NAXN 750W
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or Antec Khuler 920
Corsair 500R or NZXT Phantom
i7 3770k or FX 8150 (Overclock)

I also don't want to overclock anything myself since i am so unexperienced unless, i can buy it from new eggs already OC and all i have to do is just set it up! XD So on everything i put an or please tell me what you think i should get
