What kind of spec do I need for these things?
I mainly do these on my laptop.
1) Dragon Nest on highest setting + Record (highest quality if possible using DN's own recording tool) / livestream
2) Running chrome / rainmeter / foobar2000 in the background
3) Run a few single player games, I don't really care about graphic but it'll be nice if I can run smoothly on at least medium + sometime I livestream them (no recording)
4) Minecraft with texture / shader mod, maybe. There's no need for recording / livestream for this one though
Please tell me the minimum spec required to run these things [b]smoothly[/b].
Processor : Intel i-series if possible, not too sure about AMD because I never used them
RAM : As long as it is enough, I don't want something overkill
Graphic Card : Nvidia series if possible but I'm okay with others if they are good
Other spec : Something else that I'm not aware of
I'm currently running with i3-3110m, 4gb ram and geforce 820m and I've struggle to do 1) and sometimes with 3).
Thanks! <3

@Burning, Alright, thanks. The most demanding stuff for my laptop is only Dragon Nest + Livestream / records on highest setting [1366x768, quality high, etc] (more on recording) really.
Otherwise I use really low demanding softwares like microsoft work / excel and such for my work. I don't really use rendering software as well so yeah.
Well, what I meant by being able to run dragon nest + recording smoothly is that I won't get any significant drops of FPS (if it's 60 then I'm happy) or frozen frames from time to time while recording.
Just forget about single player games though, I won a lottery of PS4 so I guess I can do something with it.
Since I have no way of knowing what products are available for you to purchase, the best I can do is tell you what specifications to look for.
Processor: Any 5th gen Intel Core i5 or i7 - ex. Core i5-5200U and Core i7-5500U, or 4th gen Intel Core i5 or i7 with the M or H affix - ex. Core i5-4200M and Core i7-4700MQ.
RAM: 8 GB, but otherwise doesn't matter. This part is of lesser importance.
GPU: Doesn't matter. Dragon Nest isn't particularly demanding.

The processor in your current laptop is what's holding you back from comfortably broadcast the stream. However, I cannot guarantee that even the i5s and i7s used in laptops will get you the results you want because you worded them so vaguely.
