Unfortunately the logfile you uploaded does not contain any recording/streaming attempt output...
Can you do a few minutes' worth of recording/streaming (Doing what you would normally do in-game) then stop the recording/streaming session, then upload a current logfile please so I or someone else can further assist in troubleshooting:

In your logfile I noticed you have Windows GameDVR enabled. This may be a cause of the performance issue as even when you are not using it, just having it enabled in Windows settings it will always hook into the game process and commit resources (Similar to what OBS does when OBS is open, though more aggressively as it also buffers for replay recording)
Limiting your frame rate in-game will help a lot in getting the best quality out of your hardware in regards to recording/streaming. I recommend using MSI AfterBurner or EVGA Precision to cap your fps to your monitor refresh rate, or 1-3 frames higher than your monitor refresh rate will generally resolve the issue of screen tearing. Try to avoid V-Sync as it can induce input lag.
You should remove the monitor capture source from the scene 'Scene' as it relies on your system RAM to grab the frame, which is far less efficient than the direct hooking method used by game capture.
Game capture grabs the frame directly from the graphics card for OBS to encode before sending it back to the graphics card for final rendering of the frame.
Monitor capture has the graphics card write the frame to system RAM before OBS grabs it to encode, then sends it to the video card to render for final output.
Also no need to bump repeatedly, more likely than not someone will see your post and try to assist (I can understand the frustration though)

Can I use a .x264 encoder and not the graphics card.Guynacci, you need better hardware.
Your GT 730 is an old graphics card. Very underpowered. You'll be better off getting rid of it and replacing it with a GTX 1050/1060.
I would start there first before even moving forward. Then you'll be able to do a 720@30FPS stream.
