I have a AMD 1090T @3.2Ghz, 16GB RAM, and an XFX 7950, I should be able to stream at a decent quality right? The only thing holding me back from streaming, say 720p at a decent resolution would be my upload speed? Because it seems that I can only stream at super low resolution, and I still get freezing on my stream.
 
If you have 5mb/sec upload (2-3 mb/sec for the stream itself) then you can stream at 720p with decent quality.
Otherwise you need to lower your resolution you stream (downscale).
Make sure you don't go above 4 mb/sec at Twitch, becuase Twitch servers don't like and you are not using more than 80% of your total upload speed (upload speed/100*80= max bitrate/buffersize).
 
I have 2mbps, my max bitrate/buffersize is at 1500 currently. I just want to make sure it's my upload that's the only thing before i pay more for faster upload, and then still can't stream.
 
As far as i can see your upload is the bottleneck.

From Twitch.tv:
"4. Buffer Size is recommended to be equal to the max bitrate. Setting this lower will have the encoder closer to the targeted bitrate. We do not recommend changing this unless you know what you are doing.

​Recommended bitrate for 1080p: 3000-3500
Recommended bitrate for 720p: 1800-2500
Recommended bitrate for 480p: 900-1200
Recommended bitrate for 360p: 600-800
Recommended bitrate for 240p: Up to 500"

For now you would be stuck at 480p.
