Question / Help Seem to be having some jittery/lag issues with OBS

Good evening everyone! First time OBS user and first time poster here.

Currently running a i7 4790k with 16gb of ram and a GTX 960.
I've streamed multiple times through the Elgato HD capture through my XboxOne, Ps4 and WiiU without any issues. I have tried XSplit as well and never seemed to have an issue with lag.

I decided to try OBS as my brother and a few other people recommended it to me. So here I am.

I have my stream all setup via Twitch, native resolution is 1920x1080 playing CS:GO with the downscale going to 1280x720, bicubic and 30FPS. I've tried anywhere from 3500 bit rate (super jittery to the point where I can't even game and have to turn off the stream) to 1000 bit rate just to see if it made a difference. Running off San Fran per the TwitchTest I used and I am also on the west coast.

Typically I run 250-275 fps in game and watching 2-3 streams in the background with no issues. As soon as I go to stream my fps will drop dramatically down to 60-75 and the game gets incredibly jumpy. I've been able to stream before with this setup and no issues, so I figure there is something within the settings that is causing this to occur.

Any Ideas? I'm no massive streamer nor do I think I ever will be. Just something I'd like to do for fun on the side.

So I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but here is my assumption. So I was able to stream perfectly on my 24" 60hz monitor with my GTX 960. But now that I am running a dual monitor setup with a 24" 144hz as my main it seems to lag. Perhaps my card isn't powerful enough to run 720p streaming and gaming smoothly. Seems to be the only guess I have as I am stumped.
