buying a new GPU will only help if your issues are in the vidoe thread frame when you downscale. this will not change if you have encoding issues with OBS as that is still done with x264 via the CPU. FX 4XXX series CPUs are notoriously weak for encoding and playing games simultaneously.

Post a link to your OBS logfile

I can only give you an accurate answer after I see the log.

17:08:27: Loading up D3D10 on ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics (Adapter 1)...
17:08:27: D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain1: Failed on ATI Radeon
3000 Graphics: 0x80004002. Trying compatibility mode

17:15:40: video thread frame - [100%] [avg time: 76.044 ms] [children: 98.6%] [unaccounted: 1.4%]

most of your lag is in your video thread frame so yes, a newer GPU would help alot but there are other settings to consider.

17:08:27: CaptureThread: attached to process flashplayer_20_sa.exe
17:08:28:     BackBufferWidth: 16
17:08:28:     BackBufferHeight: 16

you are attempting to game capture a flash program with 16x16 size. your GPU will try and scale that up then back down to your source size. It would be better to capture something near full screen resolution. then see below for more settings.

17:08:27: preset: fast

you dont need fast preset while local recording. try veryfast or even superfast. superfast will be bigger file at the same quality veryfast will be slightly smaller but use up more CPU, which you dont have a lot of.
