Assuming you're streaming to Twitch, yes. You want 720p@30fps, 2000kbps with the x264 Veryfast (or slower, based on tested CPU usage while gaming and streaming) preset.

1080p needs more bitrate than you can realistically use until you're partnered. Going past 2000 causes more and more people to buffer (meaning they can't watch your stream smoothly, and will probably leave). 1080p@30 starts around 3000kbps (and looks poor).

Yes, streaming will use up system resources. You will lose some framerate.

As a note, just upload a logfile in the future (from the help menu) and paste the link to it here. Screenshots aren't necessary, the log gives all of that information, as well as what OBS is doing on the back-end (so we can see any problems happening).
 
Try 1080p/30fps @ 3500 and have a friend watch it from a different connection to test. In my experience as long as the viewer has > 10mbits/download there are minimal issues. Everything is a trade off and balance between quality and numbers of viewers. 720p @ 2000kbits looks terrible for any fast moving game with the viewer watching full screen. You are just as likely to lose a viewer from having a terrible looking stream to one that has to accept a little buffering due to the way Twitch prioritises streams.
