hey all, I've had my PC for 2 years now and was curious what I need to upgrade my recording gameplay like DayZ and other games like this.

Before I list my specs, I read somewhere on here that a SSD would do the trick. But to be sure, here are my specs

MoBo- Asus Us Intel B75
Hard Drive- WD Green 2TB SATA III
RAM- 16GB corsair vengeance
GPU- Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7870 2GB
CPU- Intel i5 3750k QuadCore 3.4ghz

And windows 7 Home premium

I plan to record via Dxtory

 
Solution
recording Dayz with the typical x264 Cpu encoder will not go well, since the game is very CPu dependent, my recommendation is to use AMD VCE with Dxtory, it will use the GPU instead of CPU to process the video, it works great and similar to Nvidia Shadow play

@Raiin (sorry for not quoting, idk how on mobile) I also plan to record Zombies on WaW, Black Ops 1, and Black Ops 2. Will this same method be good? Or another solution?
