Recording is mainly so I can look back and VOD review my games, because I feel like I play well and then when I look back I go "omg this is terrible"
The thing is that I'd really just only use the PC for gaming, because I already have an somewhat okay laptop that I use day-to-day, so I think it's worth it to go for a PC purely for the better specs. I also couldn't really find a laptop with a 240hz monitor that would fit my budget, unless you can link one.
