Hello,
I am trying to stream some games and i always get CPU being maxed out.

My system specs are:
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 970 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8190MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Could anyone recommend some good settings?

That is not a complete log. Make sure OBS is closed when you grab your log, because there are some important parts missing.

You also are going to want to use the 1.5 downscale option to send 720p video; 2000kbps isn't going to be enough for a 1080p stream of any acceptable quality.

Run a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload to see what you actually have, and post the results here (along with the complete OBS log of a live streaming session).

Your CPU isn't too bad, you'll likely be able to stream with a 1.5 downscale and see a noticeably improvement in CPU usage depending on the game.
