I suggest something such as Fraps or possibly XSplit for recording gameplay.

 

Never used or heard much about dxtory so I can't say much about it.

As far as I know it has a lot of good features and I believe is able to stream too, a few well known youtubers have recommended it in the past I think.

I do not suggest fraps at all unless you got a big HDD ready. Fraps files are giant. DXtory is pretty good and a lot of people use OBS for recording. Works quite well.

 

Edit: Totalbiscuit uses dxtory iirc.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Is Dxtory good?..

 

Yes, there are some great codecs you can use for extremely good quality recording

 

HOWEVER, since you have an nvidia card why not use Shadowplay? then you will suffer very little performance loss and is free

 

Also you can use OBS with intel quicksync for super high quality video with no performance loss, also free

Fraps was good, and still is okay but has a large overhead. Xsplit I would say is more fore streaming but good suggestions I just prefer to use fraps only for in game fps now.

Logan used to or still uses DXtory in combination with OBS. DXtory files are pretty big also. If you want uncompressed go DXtory or FRAPS, or use OBS for compressed.

Yeah, I had a 10 minute long BF3 video (800x600, 30FPS) take up 6GB.

 

I would try OBS or dxtory.

My update speed is http://www.speedtest.net/result/3653360874.png

 

When i uploaded my Stalker videos i was on the same upload speed took near 10 hours to upload an hour long video so keep your vids to around the 20-25 minute mark

At that upload speed, uploading a 15GB video file will probably take around 70-100 hours. Yes.. days. You better reencode it to better compression format using software like Handbrake.

You can use OBS with AMD VCE support

 

1. Download Release 32bit binaries (2014-07-20) at https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-fork-branch-with-amd-vce-support.13996. 

2. Extract the software anywhere, and run OBS.exe

3. Do not update if it ask you.

4.Go into Setting and tick AMD VCE

Depend on the file size, not how long the video is.

You can use this site to calculate file transfer time. Just need to set the correct units.  http://techinternets.com/copy_calc?do

To upload a 5GB file with 0.36Mbit/s speed will take u around 34hours and that with 10% overhead.

Oh wait, that is megabytes. :P  It will take over 4 hours to upload 5GB file.

With that upload speed i suggest you to use lower resolution and better file compression but that will take away the video quality so you need to find the best compromise between video quality vs filesize.
