Ran your log through the Log Analyzer:
I think you should try to not use monitor capture. You've got a good CPU, so you should be able to get better performance than you are. You've got a lot of duplicated frames, which should be less than 1% to have a decent looking stream.
Old OBS Version
You are using an old version of OBS. Please update to the latest version to ensure you receive bug fixes and improvements. Use Help / Check For Updates or visit the OBS download page to get the latest release.
Aero is disabled
Aero seems to be disabled, consider enabling it unless using monitor capture.
Multiple video cards detected
If you are having problems and are using a laptop, see this thread for advice.
If you are using SLI or Crossfire, you may need to disable it for compatibility with OBS.
Monitor capture detected
One of your scenes appears to be using monitor capture. Monitor capture is the slowest and least efficient method of capturing, and can cause FPS lag on both your stream and your game and will also cause problems capturing full-screen games. Consider using game capture or window capture instead (this does not apply to Windows 8).
4 issues found (2 major, 2 minor).

I dunno, try it and see if it helps. You can drop frames due to the webcam making your computer slow, or you can have a smooth stream. Or I'm wrong, which may be the case, but he should arm himself with the facts first. Maybe someone has a better suggestion and will post it, but I see 1080p webcam problems on these forums frequently.
