Game recording questions.

[Dan]

my specs:
asus p8z77v LK
i5-3570k Oc'd to 4.7 @ 1.36v
Hyper 212 evo push pull
2x 4gb Vengence 1600
2x 550ti 1gb SLI
boot: 128gb sata III crucial M4
storage: 2x 150 raptors raid0
4320x900 across 3x 1440x900 monitors

Im trying to record gaming via playclaw (i like it much better then fraps) and my FPS takes a dip down to like 30ish, i know my GPUS are kinda crap so would getting a new GPU help? or do i need to get a i7? I wasnt expecting to go from 90 fps down to 30+ish (and play claw is set to record at max FPS not limited to 30)

Edit: i notice my CPU's are sitting @ 70% give or take and my GPUS are @ 99%, im assuming thats my bottleneck?

Probably want a dedicated HD for recording onto.

thats what the Raptors are for, 2 10k rpm HD's in raid 0 i figured are fast enough
