Try tho use hardware encoding. I got a MacBook Pro Mid 2015 with a i7-4870HQ and the standard intel GPU + an AMD Radeon R9 M370X. Go to settings --> output --> advanced --> encoder --> choose another encoder. x264 is very CPU intensive, and an i5 is not the fastest CPU for recording and gaming at the same time. I use "Apple VT H264 Hardware Encoder". Also lowering down your bitrate and quality could help. Let me know if it works or when you need any further help! (although I'm probably not online so much here)
