What Can I Buy For An Upgrade On My PC To Increase FPS?

Hello,
What I mean by upgrade is things like, Graphics Card, RAM, CPU, etc.
What exactly do I need to increase my FPS?
So when I am recording Minecraft videos, it doesn't drop enough where it is laggy.

Its between a graphics card, and your RAM.
I suggest that you get a new Graphics card in you use a desktop though

I Recommend A GTX 750TI Because its good for the price and you can run minecraft ultra shaders at 60 fps when recording and it also explodes the fps on other games too and also add ram to minecraft, look it up on youtube it should tell you

Got one of these for Christmas, should definitely be considered

You'd only need a new MB if the CPU you want to buy isn't the same socket as your current, or is a socket that isn't supported by your MB. An upgrade from an FX 4350 to say an FX 9590 wouldn't require a new MB since the original supports AM3+ sockets, and both the old and new CPU are AM3+ socket CPUs.
OBS is also another good, low impact recording and streaming software.

Minecraft mostly uses the CPU. Same with recording. Upgrade your cpu and you should be good.

You should get a PowerColor Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+ GPU from outletPC it only $211 right now. Its an amazing GPU! Your minecraft fps will definitely skyrocket into the moon!

ReprisalGamingHD...So when I am recording Minecraft videos, it doesn't drop enough where it is laggy.
If you want to multitask and you currently lag when doing so, you want to purchase a CPU upgrade.
If you want to play with better gfx, this may depend on the lag you're getting, that is to say, if you are lagging with low settings, when you load chunks (flying really fast or running on horse), or when you open something else, it is generally a CPU weakness. If you want all of the fancy gfx and you lag only when you turn them all on, it is mostly a GPU weakness.
However, if your RAM is incredibly low (2gigs or less) you should probably consider upgrading (or should I say updating) that first.

Getting a new graphics card is probably the best way to go. good graphics cards are about 150-250 dollars. I recommend an Nvidia Geforce GTX 760. I about got this graphics card, but I then switched to a AMD Radeon R7 340 and it works like a charm. I get 150- 410 fps on a default Minecraft world.

But If you buy a new CPU make sure it's able to go with the motherboard. "AMD 3 ready boards and Intel ready boards.... So be careful. In order to figure this out look at the Heat sink " Big metal thing on the Motherboard. If it has screws most likely Intel but if it has a lever then AMD.

Or just look at the specifications and check the socket types of both your motherboard and the new CPU. Your best bet would be the GPU for raw power, and maybe a 6 or 8 core CPU with some more GHz than your current so you have more cores for recording and rendering video. Games typically only use one or two cores, but if you wanted to record and play a game at the same time, you'd benefit more from the extra cores of a 6 or 8 core compared to a 4 core, so long as you aren't sacrificing GHz in the process.

Get optifine it doubles your fps

It doesn't always DOUBLE it, but it's very good and it's also free to download and use.

I improved my graphics and FPS by buying a EVGA Nvidia GTX 750 SC and I can play minecraft smoothly as well play a lot of games in High quality. I have not tried this on Battle Field.
