Please record/stream and stop the recording/stream, before you upload your log (because your actual log shows not recordings/streaming attempt).
Laggy recording could be encoder overload (CPU) or rendering problems (GPU overload).
GPU overload is very commong, as people forget that they need to limit their ingame FPS for OBS to get smooth recordings.

This is recommended settings at 60fps for Overwatch medium settings
(http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-system-requirements-revealed/)
  • Operating system: Windows Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Phenom II X3, 2.8 GHz
  • Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or ATI Radeon HD 7950
  • Memory: 2 GB VRAM, 6 GB System RAM
  • Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space
You got an i5 3.2 GHz and a Radeon 470. These two barely make the cut at the recommended settings to do 60fps.

Realize the above is to just to play the game. You need additional CPU and GPU horsepower to exceed this to stream and record.
