Certainly can record. Performance might cause frame drops based on game intensity, but titles like CS:GO are manageable on that system. You’re definitely able to do it. For recording options, I suggest OBS (Open Broadcast Software) for free and well-known, or FRAPS for paid features.
I've also heard about DXtory, which seems to be one of the simplest methods for capturing footage outside of shadow play. However, it's also worth considering if you're aiming for a GPU upgrade to obtain an affordable 900-series card. Keep in mind that shadow play doesn't offer the highest video quality, though it can still work well for casual recording. You might get a sense of its performance, but note that the quality could be better today.
OBS is clearly the top choice, performing best according to my experience and handling live streaming smoothly. It offers native x264 encoding. The main limitation is its single audio stream support, which is why I prefer Bandicam for separate mic and speaker channels. I also found Dxtory useful but it requires payment. EDIT: Additional tips from the source include using windowed borderless gaming for better performance in live streams, allowing seamless scene changes without complex settings in OBS.
BTW: Avoid using Fraps. The files are extremely large, comparable to uncompressed video recordings. Unless you have a 4TB drive, you'll run out of space quickly. I strongly recommend Obs, it performs better than Fraps in most aspects except benchmarks. Also, Fraps costs money and hasn't been updated recently, making it quite expensive at around $35 for the features offered. If you're seeking top-tier recording software, Bandicam or DxTory are solid choices—they support a wide range of codecs, allowing you to record with lighter codecs if needed.
