Okay so PC SPECS are
Windows 10

Monitor is 1080p

AMD FX-8350 8 core 4.0 ghz

12 gb of ddr3 ram

MSI 1060 6gb

im currently barely able to stream in 1280x720 is there settings i need to use in order to increase performance

stream quality settings:
CBR

BIT rate: 3000
buffer size: 3000
key frame interval: 2
cpu usage: superfast
profile: main

Video settings:
Base Canvas res: 1920x1080
Output scale: 1280x720
Downscale Filter: Bicubic

Advanced settings:
Process priority: High

everything else is default

also if i jack up the settings on obs i get terrible fps in game which i think with my current setup it shouldnt

REMOVE opencl=true from custom settings

02:34:48.064: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 45 (0.0%)
02:34:48.064: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 1554 (0.2%)

Your GPU is maxing out. You need to reduce graphics ingame to leave more room for OBS. OBS renders using GPU.
Network issues: you could try using a different Twitch server
Or, simply do not use custom buffer size (or, at least , set it equal to bitrate)

As your CPU is not having issues, try preset Veryfast.

What settings would be good to stream on twitch with this setup to get the best quality but little to no performance loss to the game I am playing or should I look into getting a capture card and use a laptop as my streaming PC

In your log:

Do not use custom buffer size
REMOVE opencl=true from custom settings

With those settings, this is the result:
02:34:48.064: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 45 (0.0%)
02:34:48.064: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 1554 (0.2%)

Your GPU is near limit. Reduce ingame graphics or limit FPS.
