    Hey, I'm buying a decent gaming PC in the near future, and I would like to know if I'd be able to record MC and use the GSL Shaders Mod at the same time. Also, I mainly play The Hidden, Trouble in Terrorist Town from Garry's Mod, I want to play Team Fortress 2, too
    Specs:

    CPU: AMD FX-8320 @ 4.0 GHz
    RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Corsair
    GPU: Radeon 7770 1GB
    Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A
    PSU: 500 Watt Corsair 80 Plus Certified


    Any help would be appreciated

    **EDIT** I changed from an FX 8350 to an 8320 because it went too far over budget... : /

    Alright, looks like you have a pretty nice PC build, looking at your specs you should be able to run it no problem, although the FX-8120 isn't the best for gaming due to its architecture you still will be fine.

    If you can manage to stretch your budget a little try and get a Sapphire/Asus radeon 7850. the 7850 by far has the best price to performance ratio and is highly overclockable.

    I changed specs a bit, could someone please give another opinion? Where can I downgrade? Where can I upgrade?
