^ That's currently what i'm running. I just build it last year. Recently I decided to stream for my guild on RIFT, but i'm having issues with in game FPS whenever I try to stream and i'm unsure if it's because of OBS or twitch itself, but the latter seems more likely. I run on max settings in rift, but turn it down to medium and I run fine in the 10man raids, but 20man raids drop my fps down to 3-5 on any graphic settings (even the lowest) so i'm not sure what to do at this point. I know some people who have computers older and some somewhat newer than mine in quality and they're able to stream just fine. Any help to solve my fps issues would be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Use the best settings you know how, then stream at least five minutes of high action gameplay, then post an OBS log file from that stream.
 
Set your scene buffering time to 700.

You're trying to stream to Twitch using NVEnc, which isn't recommended. Use Quicksync or x264 encoding. NVEnc is fine if you're just saving to your hard drive.

When using NVEnc, use the High Performance preset unless you have a Maxwell generation GPU, which you don't (yours is Kepler).

You've set an FPS of 25... is your monitor running at 50, 75 or 100 Hz? Most people's monitor run at 60Hz, sometimes 120 or 144Hz, if you have an expensive gaming monitor. I've never heard of a computer monitor running at 50Hz. If your monitor is running at 60 or 120Hz, set your FPS to 30, not 25.

Set your base resolution to your actual monitor resolution and then use a downscale, instead of setting your base resolution to what you want to stream at, as you've done.

Agreed all but the 25fps thing. Streaming at 25fps is fine and shouldn't affect game-play at all. It will affect viewers in the way you mentioned though. It is just something that you only want to do if you have to because of bitrate or usage constraints.
