Please post a log of a live streaming session (found in %appdata%/OBS/logs/) for diagnosis.

If you are using an over-high bit rate (guessing here based on your speedtest results) it can cause the stream to lag for viewers if their connections cannot keep up. Also, Speedtest is fairly useless for livestreaming; it tests dead-file transfer rates only, which can spike. I doubt yours is a problem, but you may as well run a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload to confirm that your baseline throughput is solid.

Yep, it's almost-definitely your bitrate doing it.
Drop bitrate/buffer to 3000 or 3500.
Also, drop your AAC audio to 128. You do NOT need 320kbps AAC audio to sound excellent.

You also should NOT use Monitor Capture. Slowest method of them all. Switch to Game Capture, or Window Capture if possible (monitor cap is causing lagged frames, which will also cause your stream to look stuttery/poor).

To expand on FerretBomb's explanation, your viewers are saying it's laggy because of the high bit rate. Your viewers have to be able to watch your stream at the same speed that you upload. You started out at 8000kbps, which the average person does not have. I wouldn't go above 3500kbps for the sake of viewers, because the higher you go, the laggier it will be for more viewers.

I also recommend enabling CBR, which makes bit rate usage less spikey, which makes it easier to watch for viewers, too.
