Okay so first off I am planning on putting in a GTX 750 TI, I know that this can run shadowplay and I know there is a system requirements page but I honestly don't know if my CPU is on the (or higher) as this is my first time even upgrading a PC.

If Shadowplay will work then how will the performance hit be while recording? Right now I play games like Minecraft and CSGO where right now I'm about the 70-90's in both games when not recording. (MC sometimes stay around 120) which I'm hoping the Graphics card will help out on and improve. However I want to be able to record the games at 60fps (720ps fine) without much a performance hit if possible.

Shadowplay uses your GPU, not your CPU to record, so your CPU doesn't matter.
As long as you have a GTX 700 series GPU or better, you can use shadowplay.

Your CPU is kinda meh, but you should be able to record 60FPs okayishly with shadowplay, but in general for recording you want a dedicated harddrive that isn't running the OS or games to send the recordings to.

Infact, here's me using Shadowplay on a 750ti to record minecraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98MRU_5T-0w
