Question / Help help for what settings to put for streaming

so i have used the obs stream program on the site that does the recommended streaming settings but i would like to see if i can make it sharper with my software and hardware i have got, plus my internet speed/connection.

my pc specs:

nivida zotac 970 graphics card
skylake i5 3.3GHZ
16 GB of ram

internet connection and upload speeds:

upload 5-6mbps
download 30mbps

also i have the trouble of my obs taking a lot of my cpu which often makes obs crash which results in me not being able to stream some of the games i have. So i was wondering whether or not there is a way to lower how much obs is taking up my cpu.

thanks for all the help i appreciate it :P

You have HW encoders build in CPU and maybe in video card. Use them. And, please, post a crash logs from the OBS Studio.
