I mean, I know that it's not an all powerful computer but I would love to be able to record and stream using OBS in 720p/60 fps at least. All the games I play trying to record in OBS are 50 to 60 FPS.
 
Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. Enable vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage. If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game.
