Hello there! Ive been wanting to record gameplay for a long time now and finally got a PC that can handle games i wanna record on Max Graphics but i wanna upgrade it heres my specs

Processor: AMD Fx-4300 Quad Core (3.8GHz)
Graphics Card: GTX 750Ti Super Clocked edition
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
450 watt power supply
760gma p34 fx motherboard

the game i mostly wanna record is Armored Warfare which is ran on cry engine so its rather demanding
so im wondering would these upgrades be sufficient to record on max setting at good fps???

Processor: AMD fx-8350 Eight Core (4.0GHz)
Kingston HyperX Fury 2x 8GB RAM kit
500 watt power supply

if those arent sufficient can you please give me some pointers in the right direction while at least keeping these upgrades under $300 all together thank you

I would not use an FX 8350 with that board. An FX 8370e may be a better choice. That board is not very good, and I doubt it will last long with an FX 8350. PSU, make sure it is a tier 1 or 2 unit. Using a no name PSU is just asking for trouble. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

If you are getting more ram, to get to 16gb, make sure you get the same make/model of ram you already have. Mix matching brands can lead to stability issues. If you are handling the gameplay of that game, well already, then recording should be doable, with the CPU upgrade.
