I like making movies with my friends, but when I shoot with my miniDV camcorder the audio doesn't sound too great in post-production. I need to be able to record voices so that they sound better. I would buy a boom microphone or something, but my miniDV camcorder doesn't have an input slot for an external microphone. Is there any other way to record good quality audio without having a microphone attached to the camera I'm recording with (on a small budget)?

Your camera might be have a hot shoe accessory mount and you could add a microphone that way. If it doesn't then you will need to use an external audio recorder. You will need to then sync the audio with the video in post. The only problem with this is that they are somewhat expensive for good ones. Not sure about the quality but one like this http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-WS-300M-Digital-Recorder-Player/dp/B000BJ1UAE would probably be ok. Then you plug your mic into that. In order to sync the video you use a clap board. How you do this is you find the exact spot where the clap board first goes down in the video and then you will need to find the biggest spike in the audio and then you sync the to together. Hope this helps

You mention post-production, so i assume you have an editor that can handle multiple tracks and separate audio. All motion picture film is shot silent, the audio is recorded separately. You can do the same. A digital audio recorder is best because otherwise it is hard to keep the audio track in sync for more than a few seconds with linear tape. A Sony minidisk will work well, but use whatever is available to you. An old fashioned clap board will help restore audio sync and add "class" to the production.

Not whatsoever. You have a good processor, 8gb of RAM is overkill for gaming, 4gb is all you need. Also the fact that the 5450 is **** for gaming and you should get at least a 5670 for decent mid-setting gaming, or a 5770 for good high setting's play.
