Everything Is Failing

I apparently have no clue what I am doing.
I've been trying for weeks now to get OBS studio to work with my laptop, and nothing is going right.
I'd love to be able to stream, but with a .58mbs Upload speed, that isn't possible without the worst quality in the world.
So, my second option is doing recordings. But I can't even do that. No matter how low I set my settings, the x264 Encoder that you're given by default overloads.
I've taken CPU usage from an average of 50-60% down to 10-16% and its STILL giving me this error and causing freezing/lag in the recordings.
I've been attempting this with WoW, since its a graphically intensive game and (in my opinion) a good test subject. I can have the game run perfectly while a recording is live, but when I click back to OBS, the video is tanking and I'm getting the same message, whether its 50% CPU usage, or 10%.
Another thing I've tested is recording a drawing session in GIMP. 3 hours and 20 minutes of footage were wasted because when I checked in the end, the Encoding was overloading. The only other program I had running was Youtube for my music playlist.
Its rather frustrating that no matter what I try, my videos suck because I can't seem to stop the stupid encoder from overloading.
I've attached what should be the log file for my current session.
I'm working on attempting an emulated game, and was having some sound issues so sorry if things read confusingly.
