Shadowplay if ya got a Nvidia card for straight up recording at highest rez possible with 60fps. I think new one even has up to 4k if you can handle that. Fraps is alright for free solution as well. For pay ones i always liked.. Camtasia for a all in one desktop recording solution/Video editor . It costs a bit though. But is very user friendly, cheaper and easier to use then Sony vegas pro... Sony vegas pro. Probably one of the best, not user friendly at all. Holy shit you need to sell your first born to afford it.. I have mine from school and it still costs megabucks with student discount. Not worth the price for hobbyist but quality product for serious video nuts. Been fiddeling with Wondershare Filmora lately as well . Its really nice little program. Has full on screen capture( Custom window or full desktop), microphone capture as well as a video editor. Tons of neat post processing effects, filters and overlays. They are always adding new ones as well every month. It is sweetest little video editing program i have seen in a few years and probably only one i would even think about paying for at this point in time. Extremely user friendly and has tons of options for exporting into almost any file you can think of. like 50 bucks for lifetime license or 30 a year. Has a trial to test out as well but leaves a watermark. I would totally suggest checking this one out above all others. It is really fun and its one of the few i found that you can reverse a video and play it backwards!!. Comes in handy for gifs and vids. There is lots. If you don't want to spend no money just use fraps and movie maker. Just make sure you have lotsa space on your harddrive for those raw uncompressed fraps recordings.
