I need a little help with setting up my OBS.

I was testing it with Black Ops 2 and in this video you'll see,I was skipping a bit. I had the x264 CPU Preset at Fast
http://www.twitch.tv/1skm4rk3d/b/391541957

After turning it up to Faster, It didn't skip to much. 2nd video below
http://www.twitch.tv/1skm4rk3d/b/391549451

I'm not sure what the (Custom x264 Encoder Settings) is or if it helps. A friend told me 2 use it.

These are my settings on OBS

PC Specs:
Windows 7
Intel Core i7-2600
2 x CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Radeon HD 6870 1GB

If someone could maybe help me improve my video a little that would be wonderful.

Why did you change the preset if you're already experiencing lag? Also you need to post a log file so we can examine your capture setup. But put everything on advanced back to defaults for now.
