18:56:11.312: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2643 (86.6%)

Your CPU is having a very hard time encoding your video.

There's not enough headroom for x264 to work on that APU. Try lowering frame rate and resolution.

Your CPU is a physical dual core with two virtual cores, which will seriously under-perform with recording games using the x264 encoder.
Your GPU is also not a very strong performer for gaming and recording/streaming.

Unfortunately there won't be much you can do unless you upgrade your CPU and GPU to allow for more headroom for recording whilst gaming (~5-10% average, depending on resolution and encoder quality settings)
If you want to do streaming as you say then it will require even more CPU resources (~10-20% more, depending on resolution and encoder quality settings)

Edit: Forgot to mention the average CPU resource increase is for games that don't require a lot of CPU resources, games that are resource hungry could quite easily be double, especially online games, as there are multiple algorithms running to 'geo-locate' players on maps, the more players on a multiplayer server, the more resources of your CPU the game will use.

If you are planning to get a 460, go for the 4GB version, it is only ~$10 more (USD) and it will help give more bandwidth allowance for GPU memory allocation with texture load in games.

@EBrito, really surprised at how well the i3 6100 runs!
