I'm building a gaming computer and am planning on recording some Minecraft videos for a friend of mine. I would be using FRAPS. I was wondering if an i5 4440 @ 3.2 ghz would cut it. I'm still not entirely sure whether recording is GPU or CPU based, so any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks!
