Sorry for asking so many questions, but how would it do recording? Also, what do you recommend to upgrade in this build in the future?

While recording you will probably still get +80fps, no lag still :)
In the future, upgrading to 8GB of RAM would be a good idea, and your Graphics card after a while. As long as you're only playing games like Team Fortress 2 it will be perfectly fine, and you won't even need an upgrade. If you ever start playing games like Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3, they will still be playable, you might just have to go down to low-medium settings with 40 - 50fps.
