Question / Help Extreme fps drop?

In the past week or so, when I've been streaming I've noticed that my fps has been taking a huge hit when streaming and also just when having OBS opened. I'm running about 200fps (Overwatch - High settings) and drop down to about 120fps when I open OBS, however when I start streaming this drops even further down to around 80 and It's making the games nearly impossible to play.

I'm aware I don't need to stream at 1080p and my bitrate is higher because of that but I am streaming to Beam & Twitch via Restream.

I've noticed this happening with Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm & PU: Battlegrounds so far.
