Use Tools->Auto Configuration Wizard.

You don't need a capture card, unless you want to capture a second device like a gaming console. If you use the same PC for gaming, recording and streaming, a capture card would be a waste of money and would get you even less performance than OBS game capture.

First of all make sure you are on the latest version of Windows 10(if this is the OS you are running) ... Make sure to disable all game features in the settings.

Scroll down to the "RECOMMENDED SETTINGS" section in this very useful guide below. Or you could try what koala suggested.
