hey, i'm new to streaming and have checked endless threads here already and tried the advice but i'm still getting lag on my game (usually ssfiv, sometimes hearthstone). i know my rig is not state of the art but i am trying to run things at minimum settings. here's the information i have, i'm using game capture/webcam to twitch.
last log: https://gist.github.com/e1f9ed56a4c5b0f4d858
speed test: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3351142720
settings:
using cbr
max bitrate 600
audio bitrate 96
downscale 2.75 (494x278)
fps 25
disable aero UNchecked
x264 preset veryfast
use cfr checked

i've tried streaming at higher settings at first and have gone down to this and i'm still getting choppy results. any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
 
your hardware is like 8 years old. that's a big part of your problem. simply, you may be able to game, but gaming AND streaming just isn't going to happen.

ah just what i was worried about. any suggestions on a lower priced cpu/video card that would let me stream sf at 720?

well, the AMD FX 6300 is like $150, however you'd need a new mobo. for GPU, i haven't really looked recently. just grab whatever AMD/nvidia card fits in yer budget, that's relatively new.
if you can't get a new mobo, a phenom x6 would be your best bet.
