720p 2,500kbps 30fps, audio at 128kbps and then hit the preview. then open your performance tab for the cpu by holding down ctrl + shift + esc
adjust your "preset" to the slowest you can go (while gaming) before hitting 85% cpu usage.
anything above 85% can cause the stream to drop frames but it will not show on obs.
once you're maxed out, always keep obs minimised OR right click the video and disable the video preview and never watch your own stream. via the site.
doing either will use up more gpu/cpu.

By the way, for these kind of questions we offer the estimator: https://obsproject.com/estimator
Using that would have given you following result. I used 1080p as your desktop resolution and medium content as the choice. Since you did not supply is with enough informations in the main post, some parts might change if you use the estimator yourself, but here is the result:

CPU Advice
- Set downscale to 1.5x or 2.0x to achieve a lower resolution
- Set FPS to 25
- A bitrate around 2000-3000 is sufficient for RTS and other low motion games
- Use game capture if possible for maximum performance.
- Use window capture with Aero enabled if game capture is unavailable.
- Your upload speed is sufficient for 720p / 1080p
- Enable CFR for compatibility with streaming services
- Enable CBR for improved stream stability
- Recommended max bitrate: 3000
- Recommended buffer size: 3000
