Question / Help Improve Screen Recording - Upgrade CPU or GPU?

Hey guys,

Just need a bit of advice on improving my OBS recording.

I do Youtube maths videos, and recently went from 1080p 30fps to 1080p 60fps, to get a more polished and responsive feel. It is all offline recording, nothing gets streamed. The bitrate is set to quite high, but as it is a white background it rarely gets high, or high enough to cause any trouble. I screen capture with OBS and use Vegas Pro to edit and render.

The problem is, I think there is a slight stutter in the recording, not often just every now and then, but I think I notice it in the OBS recording/Youtube recording.

Now I believe I have quite a capable machine.

i7 4790 (quad core with HT)
16gb DDR3
AMD R9 280 3gb

Now people have suggested upgrading CPU/GPU. So I would like to know exactly what requires upgrading to fix the issue. I would like to improve my production quality as my students use these with various different devices, and it just adds to the overall quality along with my content.

So what do you guys recommend I upgrade?

I have linked the Youtube video, the first one I have uploaded at 60fps. Please excuse my voice, I know I really don't like listening to it.
