Hey guys,

I've asked questions before and you guys have been good help.

I'm looking to record gaming footage on my computer, the computer was a top of the line custom built computer roughly 5 years ago, it's specs are a Q9650 quad core, the highest before they went into the i3,5,7's, however it falls in the ram department being only 4GB of 1600mhz ram, and a GTX285(before they released the 295), however I still have an old mechanical 1TB 7200rpm hard drive.

If I got a 240GB or 256GB SSD, would this be the end of my problems for recording smoothly in all games?

or is ram a huge requirement even after using an SSD?

You would definitely want to upgrade your RAM because on top of running the game you are now running the recording software which needs to move that data at the same time. Just recording in general takes some CPU power so just changing out the hard drive will not alleviate the performance hit of recording.

in Gaming it is recommended to use a minimum of 8gb ram, so you need to upgrade your motherboard and cpu,psu even GPU,
