Advice on Computer Specs; Please Help!
 |  |  |
Hi there!
I'm Camy415, I try to make Youtube videos, and play videos to the best of my ability;
But my computer works terribly with Fraps and Minecraft at the same time.
I'm due for an upgrade and I'm of course going all out to future proof it.
Here is the computer I'm going to get built (Specs)
CURRENT CONFIGURATION:PARTS : CPU : AMD 64 CPU AM3/AM3+AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz (Dual Core) 45nm, AM3 2MB CachePARTS : Cooling Fans : AMD 64 CPU FansSpire Kestrel-King II AMD 64 fanPARTS : Motherboards : AMD 64 AM3/ AM3+ MotherboardsMSI GF615M-P33, nVidia 6150, Onboard Video, GB LANPARTS : Memory : DDR3 Dual Channel memory16GB (4x4GB) PC10600 DDR3 1333 Dual ChannelPARTS : Video & TV Cards : PCI-Express Video cardsGeForce 210 1GB, PCI EXpress 16X dual head, HDMIPARTS : Hard Drives1000.0 GB Hitachi 7200RPM SATA2, UDMA 300 32m cachePARTS : CD/DVD/R/RW Drives : DVD RecordersLG 22x DVD Recorder Dual Layer +R/RW -R/RWPARTS : Sound CardsRealtek HD digital audio (onboard)PARTS : Networking : Network CardsEthernet network adapter (onboard)PARTS : Cases / Power Supplies : CasesLogisys Black & Silver ATX Case w/side window & front USBPARTS : Cooling Fans : Power SupplyLogisys 400W ATX Power Supply
Can any of you computer buffs tell me about the processor?
Obviously don't want it to be too expensive, but I'm willing to sacrifice for quality.
Thanks in advance!

Worth Spending The Extra Amount
For your CPU, I suggest a Phenom Quad Core, this is because it will have more potential etc. It is only around £30 more from what you are going to be spending on your Athlon. Also, I suggest you get a better PSU, around 600W as this will allow you to upgrade your computer later on in life. Also. shop around for cheap DDR3 RAM, as there are a lot of companies who sell a 2GB stick for around £10. You should look in to overclocking your comp aswell.
