So i was trying to stream on youtube on 720p 60fps on x264, on 6000 bitrate with the slower preset and the profile on baseline. I read other threads and put threads=16 and crf=23 in the custom x264 options. My stream is still choppy, but it looks good. It doesnt say that im dropping fps, and my cpu never really goes above 60%. Heres the log file

You are restricting the encoder to require insanely high cpu resources and to not produce the optimum output.
Set profile to high. This enables all internal encoding features, so the stream gets compressed best.
Set preset to medium or fast, or even faster if this still result in skipped frames due to encoding lag.

You will still get no really satisfactory stream, because your GPU card (GT 710) is not powerful enough for OBS to render a 720p60 video. This is your main issue.
Proof of this is in this streaming attempt from your log (see the "lagged frames due to rendering lag "):
