AMD FX 6200 six-core processor-cpu
AMD radeon hd 6800 series-video card
8gb of ram

testmy.net results
download-29.8 mbps
upload- 5.4 mbps

obs settings
max bitrate-2500
buffer size-2500

video
base resolution-1776x1000 im using a 720p flat screen tv, and this is the resolution that is says it has.
resolution downscale- 1.25(1420x800) it runs a little smoother than with none, any lower and it looks pretty bad, and still has choppy issues
FPS- 45 (have tried on 30 and 60)
Aero Disabled (Im using monitor to capture my desktop and using windows to capture gameplay)

The quality of the stream is decent enough with the settings I currently have except that there is a random lag spike/choppy thing happening. Like it skips a second or 2 every once in a while. I have fiddled with different settings so much and it seems to remain. With higher settings I lag in game. Lower settings Im fine in game but my stream has the choppy thing happening.

please any help would be appreciated

Don't use Monitor Capture. Use a Window Capture for the PVP.net client, and a Game Capture for the in-game executable. Monitor capture under Win7 is terribad. Turning aero off only mitigates it somewhat... it still can be so slow that it can cause in-game lag.

Also, turn on CBR. It's a requirement for Twitch's new standardization measures. You're dropping some frames as well... it's not terrible, but if it's a constant thing you may need to lower your bitrate to stabilize it. Forget what speedtest.net said, if you use it... it's worthless for livestreamers. testmy.net/upload (a 6MB test) will give a more accurate result, but if you're dropping frames, you're trying to push too much data for your connection, or you have a dirty/unstable connection.
