OBS can really kill performance. Go try downloading fraps (its made for XP, Vista and 7, but in most cases works on 8, 8.1 and 10). http://www.fraps.com/download.php
I would not recommend using Fraps, it's file sizes are far too large and hits performance way more than OBS.
(Lag doesn't have anything to do with system, it has to do with connection.)
That's not necessarily true, if the system runs out of memory, you'll start to see a lot of lag leading up to an eventual crash.

There is a TON of factors when looking into a build, in regards to minecraft mod packs there are some that have 25 mods that are pretty easy to run. On the flip side there are packs that have 250 mods that are much more resource intensive.
If you let me know your budget I may be able to be of more service. Just be expecting to spend around $400 for just the computer, not including peripherals such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Hello! Hope it's okay, I have two applications here, one for me and one for my husband, we're kinda a package deal.

How did you hear about the server: browsing these forums
What got you interested in the server: I love that it's mostly vanilla and seems to be very community oriented
Questions or comments about the server: no questions!
-------------------------------------------------------
Solo/Group: Usually just work with my husband and maybe another person or two, but I'm always up for helping with community builds or getting into events!
PvP/Non-PvP: non-pvp, really doesn't do it for me
Leader/Follower: both? I'm normally happy to follow, but I've been in leadership positions on servers in the past and am happy to take up that mantle if its needed.
Giver/Taker: definitely a giver. Once established I often give back by donating items and such to community builds or new players. I love being helpful!
About me: I'm a 28 year old woman living in Wisconsin in the US. I work part time and go to school part time, and have an 8 year old step daughter, two cats and a dog. I've been playing Minecraft since alpha when it was still a browser game, it's been a big part of my life for quite a while now!

How did you hear about the server: my wife found it on the forums here
What got you interested in the server: Looks to be well organized and I like that it's mostly vanilla
Questions or comments about the server: no questions
-------------------------------------------------------
Solo/Group: solo or with my wife mostly, although as I get to know people more I start doing more community stuff. It just takes me a bit to get comfortable enough to socialize a lot.
PvP/Non-PvP: non pvp, don't like it at all
Leader/Follower: follower most of the time, but I'm good at leading too when the situation calls for it
Giver/Taker: giver, I like to help with materials and stuff for community builds or if someone just needs something I have extra of
About me: I'm 30 years old and was introduced to Minecraft through my wife when we started dating several years ago. I love the freedom of the game, and build some crazy stuff!
Of course two apps in one is okay! Welcome both of ya, looking forward to what you can whip up, better be twice as good as everyone else!
Accepted!

How did you hear about the server: Minecraft Forums, endlessly browsing for actual servers.
What got you interested in the server: Seems like a very well organized vanilla server, something I haven't seen in a very long while.
Questions or comments about the server: None, really. Seems like an awesome server, actually excited to get a chance to play with you guys! Also super pumped to try out 1.9 for the first time, it's a SICK update.
-------------------------------------------------------
Solo/Group: Solo, but much prefer groups. Love doing events and group projects.
PvP/Non-PvP: Non-PvP, normally. Would never kill anyone on a vanilla server, even if it's allowed.
Leader/Follower: I've been the leader for years now, really want to be a follower on this type of server.
Giver/Taker: Giver, love collecting tons of resources and sharing.
About me: I'm a 16 year old Junior in High School. Been playing Minecraft for 5 years, ran my own vanilla server for 3 years. I've also been building a lot of that time, and have gotten very good by this point. I also enjoy playing other games like Arma 3 and Civilization 5 in my free time. Not really sure what else to put here
Thanks for reading, hope to join you guys soon!

Hey there Tommy! 1.9 is pretty freaking sweet if I do say so myself! We're going to be having a dragon event in a week and a half with the new combat mechanics, we're also going to be throwing in a twist!
Accepted!

How did you hear about the server: I just went onto the MC forums hoping to find a good survival server that I can stick with for a long while.
What got you interested in the server: The vanilla Minecraft aspect, and how you've added extra things to spice it up a bit such as the events and mcmmo.
Questions or comments about the server: Nothing to ask
-------------------------------------------------------
Solo/Group: Solo, unless I meet up with more people in the server which is what I hope happens.
PvP/Non-PvP: Eh, Non-Pvp, PVP only on a faction type server.
Leader/Follower: Both, I don't like to take full advantage of every situation but I lead where it's needed.
Giver/Taker: Giver, I've had plenty of situations with the takers in the past and it's just dumb, good at helping with mining.
About me: I'm 16 years old and I've been playing Minecraft since around the very first beta version came out. I've started again recently as I got bored of the game about a year ago and I've decided to get back into it, but with more people since solo gets boring. I'm also a musician and I play the Clarinet/Tenor Saxophone for my high school marching band. I'm also interesting in the field of media and all that editing stuff that goes with it.
Hey Dom! Can't wait to see you online! <3

What got you interested in the server: I've been looking for a community driven server for awhile now, and this one seems fun.
Questions or comments about the server: None currently
-------------------------------------------------------
Solo/Group: I tend to be more of a solo player but dont mind teaming up now and then.
PvP/Non-PvP: Typically Non-PvP unless provoked. I prefer peaceful existence but I will fight if the need arises.
Leader/Follower: Leader because I feel that it is my job to take responsibility for any outcome.
Giver/Taker: Giver, I try to help all I meet.
About me: I am a 21 year old gamer and graphic designer. I try to make friends with all I meet.
Welcome to the server Raven! Hope to see some great graphics from ya!
I voted yes, especially if the smaller servers can have a chance. As someone said, just ask the server owner "Hey, can you handle this? And would you like it?" And let them know that it would be a big impact on the server. I don't know, I think it'd be neat. How would one be eligible for this? Do bigger servers have the advantage? That's just my 2 cents on the subject.
