I know it's a tight budget but I don't have a lot of money to spend, I don't mind it being 1600 x 900 or 1920 x 1080. I'll be recording at 720p and I want the most fps out of my build: Le' Build

I will be running games like BF4 and Minecraft w/ a lot of mods (mods seriously drop a huge amount of fps) and as I said, I will be recording 1280 x 720 @ 60fps and I really need it to turn out smoothly. Thanks.

If it's possible, I would really appreciate a monitor cheaper that £75.

Do you have an NVidia 600 or 700 series card? If so you could use Shadowplay, my frame rate never dropped by even 1FPS. (Some stutter as it's still in Beta. I tested at 1080p 60Hz)

Why record at 60Hz? Maybe 30Hz would be better, especially since that's what Youtube videos tend to be anyway.

There are cheaper ones, but I just couldn't recommend any of them.

The first one is a bit more then your budget but much better and the second stays in your budget perfectly and by the way if you want you could link the display to your tv and save up for a better monitor (if you do that you might have to uninstall the GPU and reinstall it again)

he has an amd GPU if you had looked at his build and yeah shadowplay is great for recording and I very highly recomended as the quilty is amazing and no real performance drop but sadly it's an R9 280X still really powerful card.
 


Missed your link at first to the build.
I bet you are interested to see what Mantle does for BF4 in Jan/Feb of 2014. Currently nobody knows what the benefit will be.

Mantle is a work in progress though, and initial game support will be pretty low. After a couple years though, we might see a pretty huge difference vs DirectX and the same game on Mantle.

Cheers.
