Maintaining 60fps While Recording Games

I'm using Dxtory to record gameplay. Most games I can record at 60 fps but there are a few that won't record anywhere near that for some reason. Assassin's Creed Syndicate is one of the games I've been trying to record but the performance is all over the place and the max it records at is 45 fps. I was wondering if you anyone could tell me how I could improve this. I am trying to record at 1080p/60fps all the time. Here's my system specifications:

OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
MOBO: ASRock Z97 Extreme3
CPU: i5-4690k
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked ACX Cooler 2.0
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 16GB 1600 MHz
PSU: Corsair HX850i
HDD: Hitachi 1 TB 5400 RPM and Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 64 Mb Cache (I record most of my gameplay to this HDD).

I am most likely going to be upgrading to an i7-4790k very soon for performance boosts in certain CPU intensive games and also for, hopefully, quicker and smoother gameplay recording and editing. One last question, I use Dxtory to record games at 1080p/60fpsbut I use Wondershare Filmora to edit the gameplay. In Wondershare Filmora it said something about only being 30 fps. If I were to edit my gameplay with Filmora and then upload it to YouTube would the fps be 60 or 30? It's really important for me to be able to have my videos at 1080p and 60 fps.
 
Solution
Sydicate is pretty CPU intensive, try overclocking if you haven't already, if your editing program can only render 30 FPS then that is what you'll be able to upload to youtube.
