OBS:
1900 bitrate

Internet:
86.5/Down
35.4/Up

Comp:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor (4CPUs), ~3.4GHz

can you check if your video card is connected to a pci3 slot or pci2 atleast? I had the same problem with league of legends because my video was on pci 2 slot i think and moved it to pci 3 and everything goes perfect

This worked! Thank you so much! I still drop a few frames but only about 5. Really appreciate this.

Try downscaling to a slightly lower resolution like 960x540. Your CPU may be having difficulty streaming at 720p and running the game at the same time. You might also try testing with a new scene containing only the game capture source first. If performance is okay there, add scene sources back one at a time to see if one in particular is causing the slowdown.
