You can watch your own stream, I do to make sure everything goes well. You just have to keep the sounds from the stream muted.
 
So let's say I have my pc connected to my big screen and for instance I broadcast from my ps3. Now I get obs all set up hit start streaming do I mute the desktopsounds before I switch the TV input to the ps3?
 
Post a log file from a live streaming session.

Also, set your webcam's audio source to Disabled. If it's set to your microphone (or to the webcam's mic), then your mic is coming in/being processed twice (once through the webcam audio channel, once through the Mic audio channel where it should be). This sounds like it's the most likely cause.
 
You did exactly what FerretBomb described: assigned your Samsung mic to your webcam AND as the recording device in OBS, thus it's being recorded twice. Go to your webcam properties and set "Audio Input Device" to "Disable".
 
No screenshot needed, you posted a log that clearly shows how things are set up. If you've since changed settings, post a clean log file. Restart OBS, start a stream/record/preview for 30 seconds, then stop it and use the "Upload Current Log File" option instead of "Upload Last Log File". Post the link to the newly generated current log file here.

OBS says that your Logitech C310 has your Samson C01U set as its audio device, in its source properties. This needs to be set to Disabled, and is what is causing the loop/echo. This is a common mistake to make (second only to the long-delay loop that happens when watching your stream unmuted from the system you're streaming from).

If it actually is set to Disabled in the webcam's source properties, set it to something, Apply/OK, then go back in and set it back to Disabled and Apply/OK again. I've never seen this happen personally, but one or two people have said it was the case (though I believe they were just saving face, it did get the problem solved in the end).
 
Can you post a link to a VOD showing it after the webcam audio source was fixed?
The only thing wrong with the log I'm seeing now is that you're using WAY too high a bitrate for a non-partnered caster... your viewers are going to buffer like crazy. 720p@30fps, 2000kbps. Golden point.

Scratch that. Going to your channel and checking the latest VOD, it seems the echo is gone.
You just have a lot of acoustic bounce/reverb, which is pretty normal for a large-capsule mic outside a damped studio setting, especially with a hard surface close behind the mic (like a TV/monitor, or wall). Try switching to your headset mic and see how it works... the large-cap fad on Twitch is kind of a standing annoyance, as they're not meant for use outside of a controlled environment. Alternately, move the mic closer to your mouth (they are meant for use at ranges under 1 foot after all, usually around 6 inches) and turn down the gain to filter some of the ambient character.
