For all I've my Minecraft career, I've been playing on bad laptops. (A Gateway, and a really old Macbook)

I'm finally looking to upgrade just a little bit, so that I can record. I'm looking at building this pc:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/D6J96h

Would that computer run Minecraft/CSGO on medium settings while RECORDING?

If not, please leave any suggestions for the $300-$400 price range.

Thanks so much for any help!

That's going to be the first problem. If you had a range of $500-$600 then it might be less of a challenge but it's hard to get a solid PC for under 500 bucks.

I agree with Ceroria because tbh I bought a computer at the price you listed and it didn't run well. When building a computer, also check if everything is compatible for each other. Anyways gl!

I'd save a little money and get a better CPU like an i3 4150, its like 50 more dollars though.

the g3258 is a good cpu for just cs/mc lol

this is a good build just don't get a corsair PSU (for 400)
Can either of you recommend me a build on PCPartsPicker? I'm really need to all these parts and stuff and it would be much easier if I could just have a list. I can spend up to $450 if needed.

Your build is good, just needs 1 or 2 things changed.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f9zVpg a little over 450, but you forgot a harddrive.

I changed the motherboard and added a CPU cooler so you can overclock (that is why the G3258 is good;it's a beast at overclocking)

Got a 750ti that was cheaper

Got a better powersupply

Added a harddrive

Sorry I ask so many questions

Will this run Minecraft or CSGO at good frames well recording??

How many USB slots would this computer have?

This doesn't include the fee of Windows, correct?

Yeah MC and CSGO will have over 100 frames while recording (depends on your settings tbh)

Not sure how many USB ports, sorry about that.

No it doesn't include windows (although you can get it another method yar harr)

That build will get decent FPS on MC and CS, depending on your settings of course.
It has 8 USB ports, but doesn't include windows. I don't recommend pirating windows (because most of those cracked versions have all kinds of nasty things in them) but if you're looking to get a cheap copy of windows, I used g2a (http://bit.ly/1NNiC16) to get windows for both of my computers.
