Well, I already have a best bang for the buck $500 wishlist on Newegg.

For your purposes, I'd suggest this edit:
*Remove the Pentium CPU
*Remove HDD
*Add an Core i3 or i5. I'd suggest an i5 since you'll be playing DiRT and recording. The native quadcore can help encode and play smoothly. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115089
