This PC will be for recording gaming and uploading to youtube / video rendering

I will be buying the HDD else where which is around 30-60£ so I would like it to be £300 - £350
I have a spec here:
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 4GB
BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ ZT 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4100 Black Edition 3.60Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail with FREE Deus Ex PC Game
Asus HD 6850 DirectCU V2 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Total : £356.72

I was thinking about a i5 build but it's too expensive
People are saying bulldozer is bad.
But many reviews have been possitive so I am willing to buy it.
I'm coming from a Celeron 2.2gHz
Thanks
(PS: the only thing I can game on now is a PS3, would really like to change)
