Question / Help Need help with a few things... please

Hey! Thanks for coming here to help :)

Could someone please clear a few things up for me.

I'm trying to record Arma 3, when im recording I have 0 lag with a constant 70 fps running the game on "very high" settings. however my recording come out slightly laggy, but I can live with that, but obviously if any of you know a fix I would love it..

Also after I record a video more than a few mins, obs gets stuck on "stopping recording" after i press the stop button.

my pc specs are:

CPU - i7 2600k @3.40GHZ
Memory - 8.00 Gb RAM
GPU - GTX 980
Windows 8 64 bit

So what are the best settings for me to use on OBS studios? Please don't say x264 as its terrible for me and makes everything lag. I have found quicksync looks slightly better? I record at 60,000 bitrate.

Also, If I wanted to up my recording quality a lot, would the most beneficial upgrade be upgrading my CPU? and is RAM important?

Cheers guys!
