So my current build specs are

MOBO: X99 Sabertooth
PSU: EVGA 750b supernova
GPU: Diamond R9 290
CPU: i7 5820k
CPU Cooler: Corsair H70
RAM: 8GB DDR4 (sorry don't know the manufacturer)
Case: NZXT Phantom White
Storage: 1TB WD Black (os and other programs))
1TB Seagate (games)
1TB Seagate (Recording)
500GB Hitachi (Game Servers)

So this build was kinda rushed and feels like a mess and I want to do it right this time.
What I want to do is swap out certain parts (the list is below) so I would like feed please.

I want to change out my HDDs because the read/write speeds are slow on them. When I try recording with Dxtory the video file is fragmented afterwards and the read speed of the drive goes from 70mb/s to about 2mb/s.

Case: Phantom --> Corsair 760T Full (Black)
RAM: 8GB --> EVGA 16GB DDR4-2666 (4x4gb)
Storage --> WD Black Drives
Corsair H70 --> Corsair h100i GTX

How large are your final recordings? You can record to an ssd no problem, and work off it, then move the final product to a storage drive. You can also consider either a wd black drive, or a seagate barracuda. The barracuda drives are cheap, and fast but not the most reliable. Good for recording to then moving the recordings off of. Look into those

I'm recording about 10 mins, and if I recorded to an SSD wouldn't that eat up the drive? Wouldn't it make it slower over time (don't SSDs get slower than HDDs faster)

The un-edited video is about 14gb. I will also look into a seagate barracuda drive.
