Your setup will do just fine for most games.

You will have a good choice of x264 or NVENC from the gtx card itself, both have their good and bad sides so it's best to experiment with their quality a little with some local recordings.

X264 can give better per frame quality at the cost of using a lot of the cpu. NVENC uses the graphics card video encoder, saving you a lot of cpu resource for other things like running your pc games better.
