I am thinking I want to record my own gameplay and create a YouTube channel, but I am not sure my pc is optimized for recording. Can I record and render videos without taking ages with this pc:
I7 4770k
Msi gd-45
Corsair vengeance 8 gb 1600
Radeon r9 270x 4gb
Wd black 1 tb

I am probably going to upgrade to either a r9 290x or 780 ti soon. I heard nvidia is better for recording due to shadow play. Can anyone give me some insight on this? Since I am making this upgrade I can't really afford to change much more. I am thinking of adding 8 gb of ram for a total of 16. Is this worth it?
Thanks

No, upgrade from 8GB to 16GB is not really worth it. Your specs are pretty good, you also picked one of the best Hard Drives there are under 100$ range.

Your last two choices now are picking a recording software and a video editing software. I recommend:
Recording Software - Dxtory
Video Editing Software - Adobe Premiere (or Sony Vegas is equally good)

It's your call if you wish to get ShadowPlay, but Dxtory offers much more useful features such as recording audio into a separate audio tracks which is extremely useful for commentators since they can raise or lower audio track volume without affecting the other. It has benchmarking tools, scaling features, etc. I'm GTX user myself and don't really like ShadowPlay, it seems rather very...
