I can hardly get a solid 15 fps in Minecraft recording at lowest settings but while not recording i get a solid 60 fps!
Specs: 8 gigs of DDR3 ram
3.7 ghz quadcore cpu
(graphics card is integrated to my cpu)Its a AMD radeon HD 8570D integrated graphics.

What should i upgrade in my PC to fix this im thinking of upgrading my graphics card, my cpu seems fine. What do you guys think?

The AMD APUs are notoriously underpowered for real time video encoding. You will likely have to downscale a lot (probably by 3.0) and change the x264 preset in Advanced from Veryfast to Superfast or even Ultrafast.

It raised my frames by 1 fps. Do you know of any drivers that can help my processor with video encoding. On my old screen recording program i could record at a solid 40 fps with the exact same PC.
 
Post your OBS log showing at least five minutes of high action video. Without that its all just guesswork for anyone trying to help you.
 
Hmm, a log file would be good yes. A driver will in this case not help. Your other recording software probably did not compress the footage in the way OBS does it. If you just want to record, and not stream with OBS, I would use our High Quality Recording settings:

And probably use the superfast or ultrafast preset. (Can be changed in the advanced settings and will lower the CPU usage). But again, post us a log, mayber after you tried this, and we can tell you more.

How do i post a log/get my log?
 
You're not going to be able to play a game and record at 1080p with that hardware, unfortunately. You're going to have to downscale heavily, probably to 480p, maybe lower. If that still isn't enough, you'll need to change the CPU preset in Advanced to either Superfast or Ultrafast.

I have 250$ to upgrade what should i start upgrading first?
 
Well, really you need a new CPU, but that also means you'll need a new GPU as well. What you have now is an all-in-one, so if you replace the CPU, you won't have a GPU anymore. $250 isn't really going to be enough to even upgrade to a rig that can do 720p.
