Personally, I'd go for a similarly powered GPU from the previous generation.Okey, but no internet retailer sells the AMD Radeon 6xxx series cards anymore. And also, how better is the D3D11 backend compared to the D3D9 backend? Will I be able to run games smooth at 1080p, 16x AF and 4X SSAA with D3D9 backend?
Also, FRAPS and Dolphin have a different way of doing anything, so issues in one may not occur with the other. I also don't think Dolphin makes too many HDD read/write requests, so should have a negligible effect.

If you have a decent HDD, say a HD103SJ, you should be able to record 1080p footage without lagging provided that you have a capable CPU.
Exceptions are games that stream during gameplay where a second HDD will help a lot.
And as Oldname pointed out, Dolphin doesn't request a lot of read and writes to the HDD, so depending on your HDD, it might or might not be part of the issue.
I think this is more of a CPU issue. Your mileage might vary across different games.
What game are you trying to record?
I have a WD 2TB Black 7200RPM HDD, that I run Dolphin on.
Mostly Brawl, Mario Kart DD/Wii & Sonic Adventure 2 Battle are the games i will record.
