What is a good gaming computer? - 1

I have watched gaming videos and would like to make my own gaming channel. But the problem is that i don't know anything about computers. I would like to start off my channel by playing Minecraft and Maplestory and The Sims 3. I would like to know what computer is good for recording gameplay and commentary. Also if i could get a cheap one. Well it doesn't have to be too cheap, i just don't want it to be super expensive.

As you don't know about the computer much You'd better to find local computer geek who can build the computer for you with about $150-200 labor
I recommend
Intel I-7 cpu
8gb ram first, You can add more later. Ram is super expensive season now
256 SSD HDD, recording and editing will be better with SSD
AMD 7770 minimum graphic card. You can find up to $200

These are main parts for your computer speed

Well gaming computers are usually from $800 to $1500 but, here's the one i recommend. Most you-tubers
use alien ware for their channel. And your going to need a headset for the commntary

An alienware computer is one of the fastest. Their latest model seems to be the best.

Go to your local computer repair store! (that isn't like a major chain store).
There you will meet some incredible tech people. Chances are they will build you a top quality PC within your budget!

Build your own, cheaper and you get exactly what you want. Get a decent i5, 8GB of RAM, a $200-300 GPU, and two hard drives. Reason being if you record to the same drive your game and windows is installed on it will be far slower than recording to a separate drive, plus you will run out of space fast. Id get a 1TB HDD for recording and whatever SSD or HDD you want for your OS and game installations.

Build a PC for the best price. Check out reddit.com/r/buildapc for more info. Also DO NOT get alienware, their computers are extremely over priced and you can't upgrade alot of their parts.
