My video quality looks quite bad on recording and I was wondering for my current specs, what would be good settings to use to get decent quality videos?
These are my current settings. I have no idea what I'm doing so any advice would be great.

Run the Auto-configuration Wizard selecting recording as main purpose and GPU as encoder. Apply the setting it gives. Do NOT change anything.
Restart OBS (!important)
Notice now you are on simple output mode. Keep it like this.
Now test as is. If all goes well, you're done.
You can change the quality presets for the recording in here for a better one and test.
Stay away from advanced output unless you know what you're doing.

Perform a test recording of at least 30 seconds doing as you normally do, including playing games, full camera or whatever you normally do.
Now look inside Help menu. Upload the current log file and paste the url to the log in here. Click on the Analize button to start troubleshooting common issues.

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

Disable HAGS
It's better to use MKV container for the recordings instead of mp4. You can later remux it into mp4 if needed.
Make sure all the plugins are updated and work with latest version of OBS.
