I'm into recording my games and renew most of my pc components, because my current rig can't handle it properly, fps decreases drastically during recording.
(Which is the ancient legend fx-8350/HD 7950 combo)
I don't have an SSD, would that make a big difference?And I also want to edit these videos with intense fun effects and dank memes.

For a gaming rig it's normal to spend most of the money on GPU but I'm wondering if it is the same for the video editing?
 
Solution
Actually yes and I have 700$ roughly.What would you suggest me for video edits?
This would be a big improvement from the relic you have now but you'll need to get a new power supply if yours is old/cheap.

If that rig is not enough, you are in for new system. SSD is least part that would help.

I would use a biggeer SSD and less system memory...
Other than that good.
