I don't know a huge amount about computer building but Windows 8.1 should be pretty good for running minecraft. A 6GB system memory is great for storing all of your videos from recording minecraft, as well as storing all of your minecraft files; you wouldn't need to worry about space if you're not going to have too many files.
Sorry I probably didn't help you that much but in my opinion you should be good with the HP ENVY and the Windows 8.1.
A 2 gb pc is great for not much files and pretty good for gaming. I have a similar 2 gb pc and it runs on about 150 Frames per second. Your RAM has nothing to do with your frames and what do you mean files? and 2GB RAM is not so good for gaming
The Radeon HD8750M is a decent graphics card ftfy
Though i just wont reccomend 2GB I suggest higher (6-8-16-32<Very expensive) why the hell do people think 12-16-32GB RAM is good? its a waste of money unless your constantly rendering crap 8 is fine
What the actual hell is having 2 hard drives going to do? That's worse than the "More ram is better" people. Op, it's an HP, which will probably cause heat problems and build quality problems down the line. Will it run minecraft smoothly? Yeah, but I recommend this for cheaper, with the same specs and a slightly larger drive. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16834313719
It helps when recording to have Fraps or whatever on a different hard drive.
Yeah, but op hasn't stated that he's going to be doing that. Even if he does, it isn't like its going to be a problem, especially if you use something else like mirillis action or dxtory.

The AMD Radeon is a very good graphics card!

It's cheaper on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-15-6-Inch-Laptop-59406417/dp/B00HIYA4F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400336870&sr=8-1
