Question / Help Cam looks bad while streaming

Hello

I've got this problem that whenever I stream and play (Diablo 3 or CS:GO) my cam in the stream gets pix-elated whenever there's some "action" in the game. At first I used the cam through "global sources" in OBS but since the cam froze when I did so and my CPU went up to 80-90% in usage I started using window capture instead through the program that I got with the cam. My first thought was that I got a too shitty computer for this cam but there is another streamer that use the exact same cam with a much shittier computer and in his stream the cam always looks really good. So I'm asking you, how do I get the cam to look nice all the time?

Here's a video where you can see how it looks, here I'm using a much older cam that shouldn't "need" that much computer, but the problem is similar to how it looks like with the C920: http://www.twitch.tv/goodgirlmiwa/c/4267791

My specs:
Cam – Logitech HD Pro C920
CPU
– Intel Core i5 3350P 3,1GHz
RAM – Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600Mhz 8GB
GRAPHICS – Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB
SSD – Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 2.5"

Include a complete logfile from a live streaming session that was at least 5 minutes long. There's a thread up at the top of this forum on how to do so.

Most likely, you aren't using enough bitrate for the resolution at which you are trying to stream. Your logfile will tell us all of your settings. Get one, post it, and we can help further.
