Here are my specs:
i7 4770K 4.2GHZ
Radeon R9 270x Hawk OC
Download Speed: 40 MBS
Upload speed : 6 MBS

Bit rate 2500-3000 I have no idea what the best bit rate is.
Resolution 1280x 720
CPU Preset:Fast - Don't know the best one I got a good cpu but not sure what to pick.
This should be it.

People with these setting stream crystal clear no pix elation nothing just clear quality.
When I play my game I see nice quality but when I check my stream it looks more blurry then clear.

The grass in ArmA 3 is always going to look like a mess when you live stream at 720p+, it's simply too detailed and moves too much to get good results at the bitrates Twitch allows.

Depends largely on the games you are trying to stream. Grass and trees moving around will usually result in a blocky stream. Point & click adventure games can easily be streamed in 1080p at half the bitrate and still look crystal clear.

But how can that other people do have clear output? is that because they use a capture card?
And what is the best game capture thing to get? OBS built in or DxTory?

If you use the exact same settings, exact same content, you would produce the exact same picture. But if you only change one variable, and let it only be your personal expectation, and boom, your own stream will look "worse" while in reality it is just fine and probably the best you can get in the current situation. (Bandwidth limits, x264 limits, etc.)
Run through a different section of the game, different lightning, and it might look better, or worse again. Comparing the own stream to someone else is just not helpful at all.
Tweak your stream according to your systems capabilities and if that is not enough, upgrade your system or stop streaming :D

I think I have found it. when I watch the stream on a 1080p monitor it gets bit pixelated. If I stream at 1080p that should be fixed then right?

No, the opposite will happen - image quality will decrease, because higher resolutions require higher bitrates to look good, and you're already using the max bitrate that Twitch allows.

Do you reccomend me setting the base resulotion to monitor size and then downscale or use 1280x720 without downscaling
