Q. I want to run this game called AVA and my internet is roadrunner, I usually get 25-60 but 30-45 usually and 120-160ping and I want to fraps too, so anything to make it not lag while playing and frasping, anything but get a new computer(mine is a laptop)

A. You can play on low settings (window mode). Your video card is out of date. recording game? Like fraps? or music? Nope, ur computer will be super laggy when using fraps with that setup. But recording music is fine.
Very nice gaming computer for cheap?
Q. I really want to get into recording YouTube videos and doing commentaries on pc but step 1 is getting a nice gaming computer. I don't really know a lot about video cards and gpu and all that stuff it's rather confusing so if someone could explain that to me it'd be helpful. I guess my price range would be somewhere from 500-800$. I'd like something that is able to easily handle mainstream games like skyrim and call of duty with minimal to no lag. If I need more money to get a computer that can run those games in high performance mode let me know and I will start conserving more money.
A. While 800 is a good start for a gaming rig, basically you will probably end up "saving" money on the parts like an after-market cooler, a cheaper case, a cheaper mobo, a cheaper hard drive, in order to buy a decent GPU (Graphics Card).
So i would suggest start saving money now, and in the meantime, read a few guides on how to choose parts for a computer. i'll explain the basics here:
Computer is 9 parts (in order of importance):
-PSU (power supply unit, provides power, no power = no juice, also very important not to save money on THIS part, if it goes down, it can take other parts with it)
-CPU (processor, that's the chip that's inserted into the motherboard that actually performs all the calculations that are involved when opening files, playing games, etc)
-CPU cooler (a device used to evacuate heat from the CPU, without which it would burn out in less than a minute (no joke, if u turn on your system without this installed, by the time you see something on your screen your CPU will have already been damaged). It usually comes with the CPU, and is most of the time easy to install, especially with Intel's processors.)
-Motherboard (uses a BIOS, basic input/output system, and acts as a medium between all the components. So if your components are people calling each other, the motherboard would be the telephone service provider, linking them together in the right way)
-GPU (graphics card, generates your picture on the monitor, some CPU's have built-in GPUs, but they aren't for gaming)
-RAM (random access memory, usually varies between 4, 8, and 16 GB nowadays for gaming systems. It's like the short-term memory where stuff is put only while its being used and then thrown out, unless saved onto the harddrive. An oversimplification would be to say that RAM influences the speed with which your computer analyzes data)
-Harddrive / Solid State Drive (HDD/SSD, respectively) (this is where the data is stored in the long run, like your movies, pictures and so on. hard drives are mechanical and have spinning components, they are cheaper and offer more storage for the buck, SSD's on the other hand don't have spinning parts, making them MUCH faster at transferring information to/from them,however they are also more expensive.
-Optical drive (that's where you put your cd
-Computer Case ( that's the box where you assemble your computer)
Ok so those are the basics.
Now you'll need to determine exactly how fast you need your system to be. Since its a gaming rig, you'll need to save as much money as possible for the GPU(s) yet still make sure the rest of the system can adequately handle your other stuff like video editing and what not.
Here are a couple of websites you should read about how to choose parts, as well as others that offer you hierarchy charts and best/value suggestions on graphic cards and CPU's :

Some good companies that i like for different parts:
Motherboard (also called mobo): Asrock, Gigabyte
Hard drive: Western Digital (WD)
SSD: Intel
PSU (manufacturer): Seasonic
PSU (brand): Corsair, Seasonic, NZXT, XFX
CPU cooler: Cooler Master (hyper 212evo model)
RAM: G.Skill
I don't mention brands for GPU and CPU, because there are only 2 big ones, and they are pretty much a matter of taste and personal experience, i like Intel and Nvidia, others may prefer AMD and ... well AMD (used to be ATI, they now produce both processors and video cards)
Hope this helped, if you have more questions, or additions to your questions, just edit your post in a way that makes it clear what you have added. ( for example you decided you want a specific graphics card and want suggestions on a system that will be built around it, hint hint, this is how i would do it in your place :D )
