Question / Help Are these specs good or bad for game recording?

Intel Pentium G3260 3.3 GHz Processor

4 GB SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM

500 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive

Can I get decent frames at all with these specs or am I wasting my time, most of the recordings I've done while messing with the settings cause it to freeze up.

Your CPU is slow.

Can try one or more of the following to lower the required CPU speed needed:
1. Use SuperFast preset at some cost of quality or bigger filesize.
2. Use smaller output resolution, 960x540 or lower.
3. Reduce FPS (frames per second) down to 15 or less.

Show us OBS logs that shows some recording or encoding in it?

I downscaled the resolution completely it will have to do for now, here's some of the logs though.
