Question / Help How to get a great stream with my specs?

So I have tried to fiddle around with the settings alot, I can get it to be exactly as when I play it in stream quality, but that will cause dropped frames. So wanted a pro-tip for what my settings should be for the most pristine and smooth stream.
My specs are:
GPU: MSI GTX 970 4GB OC gaming edition

CPU: I7-4790k 4Ghz watercooled

Ram: 16 GB kingston 1600Mhz

Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

I mainly stream FPS games, like cs:go, dying light etc. with a lot of rapid movement, and I don't want the whole screen to pixelate every time I turn or look somewhere. I have 170 download and 30 upload speed, yet twitch limits to 3500 upload. Which settings would be just perfect for my game preference and my pc?
Thanks in advance.

720p@30fps, x264 Veryfast or lower if your CPU can handle it, with a max bitrate of 2000kbps. Anything above 2000 will cause many potential viewers to buffer, and leave. 3500 is entirely out of the question (almost no one will be able to watch) and is just the upper rate at which Twitch tested the ingests and rated them to work smoothly.

With your CPU you could probably get away with Fast or even Medium. But that's about as good as you're going to get. To avoid pixelating on fast movement, you might try dropping to 480p to provide more bitrate-per-pixel density.
