The majority of my game recording and streaming is done with Mirillis Action! Software which I have found to be far superior to FRAPS and even Bandicam which I was using prior for doing video recording but Bandicam doesn’t support live Streaming.
Action! is your ultimate recording software which can specifically target your game or your entire screen, this allows you to record anything from just audio, broadcast live to YouTube, Facebook or Twitch, do benchmark recording, capture screenshots and much more.  The Action Software also has updated quite a bit since the version I started with and now supports 4k recording, re-doing the title of videos from the software before you start streaming and so much more.  Below is the 24 reasons list from the vendor site on why you should be using Action! and though you can get a lot of functionality out of Open Broadcast Software and Nvidia Geforce Experience, nothing is as easy to use and fully comprehensive as Action!  You also get the Time-Shift feature which is like Shadowplay on Nvidia which just saves off the last X amount of game time for showcasing your best moments!
One feature that is invaluable to me is that you can live brand your logo on your game stream, not just add it in recordings but it inserts it into the video that goes to your streaming channel which is a great feature.
