You cannot do 1080p with a bitrate of 1000 you'll have to either up the bitrate to at least 2500 or reduce the resolution.

You're also losing a lot of frames, over 20%. I suggest you to downscale to 720p and inc the bitrate to around 1500 with your setup. Or if you have the bandwidth, crank it up over 2000. Pref around 2500 if you can and got the internet to do it for the best results.

Also, you only have 4gb of RAM. That's also a bit contributing to your low performance. Try your way to downscale to 480p if you have to, in the worst case scenario, if 720p is proven to be too hard for your computer to handle.

You'll generally want to keep Aero enabled if you are doing Window Capture. You may also want to consider downscaling by 1.75 with that CPU.
