Question / Help Stream lags ONLY when playing CS:GO

Hi guys. My stream lags a lot and I cant figure out why.
I've choosen the right server (10000+ banwidth/ 36ms) and I've done everything I've could possibly do. I watched every single tutorial on how to choose perfect settings/bandwidth ecc.
I tried playing another game like Mortal Kombat= no lag at all.
When I play CS:GO= looots of lag.
My connection is ethernet.
My video card is a freaking GTX 980.
The issue may be the too many sources I have.
Please help me.
Here's the last "lagging" log file:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/47a3fb23dbd0b426e7b0da14988dea25
Here are all the lagging clips
EDIT: Maybe Mortal Kombat's stream wasnt lagging cause I was playing offline?
Maybe csgo needs more bandwidth (even if in obs the streams bandwidth is set to 3500)?
EDIT2: I've done some more tests. I tried to record while streaming. Since the recording is lagging too, I guess its not a Twitch/Internet problem but like its OBS that cannot keep up.
EDIT3: I think I found the solution. The encoder. I switched to NVEC and it is a lot better. I think with the other encoder it was just too much work for my cpu

Your system can't stream at 720p60, you're going to need to change the fps to 30 and/or cap the fps in csgo.

And your display MIGHT be as high as 144. All the frames between 145 and 500 are just you wasting system resources for no real benefit.
