I want to be able to record Minecraft on max settings, what would the best computer from the OP be?

I have the specs but some of the parts and case doesn't seem to be available, plus the money is too high when I do the closest to what I had before.

Mid-end. Could play games like Portal 2 on high.

Should I wait til tomorrow to buy anything on newegg or will the sales be pretty much the same come tomorrow?

Obviously the most expensive one. But you can do it on one of the cheaper configurations. How much are you willing to spend?

Ethan, I just want to clarify how crossfire mode works. I get two GPU's, place them on the motherboard, place a crossfire bridge band to connect to each other, and then only plug in my monitor to one of the cards? I am slightly confused about which port to plug my monitor into.
Yes. Plug it in to the one that is in the primary slot, ie highest on the motherboard.

It was a prebuilt, yes?
It will be in my posts 10 or so pages ago. I don't understand how I can do more than that.

Hard to say. I've never shopped during these sales.

There is no link.
Links on cyberpower expire after 7 days.
I have the basic specs but I can't seem to add them up to £600.
Basically all that was said in this topic about it was: is this good. -Yes

Since ram is so cheap these days, I was thinking about swapping out the ram in your $500 build (this) with this

with that be possible with the current mobo on the build?
