Question / Help Choppy 1920x1080 Recording

(Sorry if this is too long of a thread, one of the first times ever posting on a forum.)

Hello. For the longest time out of my video making career, I have been using OBS, and have been recording at 1080p, but setting the resolution downscale to 1536x864, and had the bitrate at a very high amount, starting at 3,500, then slowly went up to 10,000, and then ended up going to 100,000 without having any difficulties whatsoever. Just recently I had noticed that I had resolution downscale at 1536x864, so I decided to change that, and to keep the recording at 1080p in the end, and keeping the bitrate at 3,500. My game runs decent while playing, sometimes being affected while recording with OBS, but it normally is not an issue. However, whenever I go back and watch the footage to edit it, there are sections of the recordings where it constantly is freezing and unfreezing. It happened in games such as Grand Theft Auto V, PAYDAY 2, and even CS:GO. I don't know why my footage comes out like this, as I have a pretty good PC. Not sure if I'm crazy, but I feel as though the footage should come out great.

PC Specs:
GPU: Asus Strix GTX970
CPU: Intel i7-4790
RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB

My friend had once told me that maybe my motherboard can be an issue with recording, so that may actually be the problem, as it is a pretty cheap and small MB. Not sure with this either if the motherboard can affect my gaming experience as well as the recordings, but for those who are curious, my motherboard is the Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX DDR3 GA-H81M-DS2V.

Any help would be appreciated, or an explanation as to why my recording comes out sloppy in some games, and I wish you all a wonderful day, thank you!

Wasn't really understanding the whole "[ code]" thing to place the OBS logs into it, so here is just a link to the github upload instead: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1a7325e2468588a5f6c4

Your CPU is may be slow to handle 1920x1080 at 60 fps for x264 encoder, and running a game, all at the same time.

Use superfast preset, or reduce output resolution to 1280x720, or reduce frame rate to 30.

Maybe use a program HWMonitor to check for overheating that will slow down the CPU by a lot if too hot.

Thanks for the response! Definitely will take a gander when I have the time. Never did think that my CPU could be overheating.
