It's a common misconception that processors are the most important part of a gaming rig, but it's not, as the graphics card is much more important. And since you play older games, there isn't really much of a reason for you to get much of a "rig" anyways.
What I'd recommend is just to get something like MSI afterburner (http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm) and record you gameplay from you current PC, if you can run it.
You should really be spending your money towards a microphone, as the commentator's voice quality is really important in any video.

It'll be helpful if you checked out my channnel: youtube.com/user/kobortor

for video editing ... i suggest you an amd rig it less expensive ... but you need 16g dual channel memory
and a gpu with 3g memory minimum to handle multitasking and video editing
