If you want lots'a cores, and productivity ability, then a Ryzen 1500X or 1600, a B350 mobo and *single* stick of fast memory (for buying a dupe later for dual channel...) *could* cost you not terribly more, say $50'ish.\r\n\r\nThere is always a little bit more expensive frames per second option like the newer i5-8400, with a Z370 board (as that's all that is available right now) in *hopefully* the $100 price range, and, again, a single stick of memory, for the previously mentioned later upgrade. That setup could cost ~$375 or so.\r\n\r\nI have a 3770k, all delidded, does 4.7ghz, blah blah. But I'm kinda tied to it as I'll not be buying memory right now, that's for sure, but since my Z77 motherboard died I had to find a used one from China for $180 (it used to retail, new, for $109, ugh...). Keeping hardware as old as ours upgraded/up to date is a losing battle at this stage of the game. It's probably better to just look at a new CPU/mobo/RAM option.","subreddit_name":"buildapc","author":"HateToShave"},{"body":"I have a older MSI B75A-G43 Gaming motherboard.

And honestly you'd just get more out of a desktop than a laptop. With desktops you get a little bit more freedom, more power, and the ability to upgrade your hardware. They also tend to be more reliable. Just a quick thing though, get a good processor. A lot of places will tell you that you don't need a super high-end processor which is true for most people, but for someone that records gameplay and renders 10-30 minute videos a good processor will be your saving grace.
