so im looking at getting into streaming wow and recording videos..
now im looking at the Elgato - Game Capture HD 60. this one sets on the desk
which I can grab local at best buy..
or im looking into the AVerMedia Game Recorder -C985 Live Gamer HD. Game Capture/ Live Stream HD 1080p. which will plug into pci express port on my mb which I have.. but I have to order this one.
I would think on the usb device the elgato there would be time delays and cause issues with recording an streaming??

anyway my system specs are
i7 2600k
32 gigs of ram
and I have gtx 690 ftw
windows 8.1
 
Solution
I know that Elgato is pretty good for recording videos. But Elgato USB 2.0 it could do some input delay/lag.. If you don't want input/lag delay I would not go with it...
