I just put together a system with an i7-4790K and have found that 720p30 on the medium preset works well for most things. I wouldn't think that the non-K version would be too much different, so you can experiment with fast/medium and see how it goes. 2000-2500 Kbps is the recommended bitrate for that resolution and frame rate, and should leave enough of your upstream bandwidth available for other things.

Im having a very high ping in game!.
Im trying to stream CS:GO and im having around 150 ping while streaming.
and how do I set the settings to 720p in resolution? Im playing in 1920x1080 Res.

Multiple video cards detected
If you are having problems and are using a laptop, see this thread for advice.
If you are using SLI or Crossfire, you may need to disable it for compatibility with OBS.
Slower preset in use
You have changed the default preset to medium. Using slower presets can result in late frames and high CPU usage / low FPS. You should only change the preset if you are sure you have the CPU power to spare.
Possible slow server
The server you are streaming to (rtmp://live-ams.twitch.tv/app) took 713 ms to connect. This may mean your connection or the server is slow, or the server is far away from you. If you are using twitch.tv, you may want to try using JTVPing to find an optimal server.
Skipped frames detected
The video encoder is unable to encode your frames in realtime, causing skipped frames. This is often caused by running at too high of a resolution / FPS combination for your CPU. Try lowering your resolution and/or FPS. If you have changed the x264 preset, put it back to default (veryfast).
Dropped frames detected
4.3% of your frames were dropped due to poor network conditions. Frames are dropped when data can not be sent fast enough to the server you have selected. This is caused by trying to stream at too high of a bitrate, or by the streaming server you selected not being able to accept the data at the rate you are sending.
Try switching servers, especially if you are using twitch.tv. As a test, you could also try streaming to a different provider to check whether the problem is on your end or not.
Note that some ISPs will temporarily increase your upload speed at the start of a transfer - if you only start to drop frames after 30 - 60 seconds, your ISP is likely doing this and you will need to use a lower bitrate.
Finally, if you are using a wireless connection, keep in mind that interference from other radio sources can cause your connection to stutter and drop frames. A wired connection is strongly recommended when streaming.
See https://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870 for more advice on how to fix dropped frames.
