Whenever I stream League of Legends using OBS, my FPS constantly drops and changes and the game itself becomes very choppy and laggy. Ping also rises and decreases. Also, lowering the resolution on OBS tends to makes the gameplay smoother. So what's the problem?

My specs are:
APU (AMB A10 5800K)
4 GB RAM
500 GB HD
1920x1080 resolution

speedtest results:
Timewarner Cable
ping 16 ms
downloadspeed 21.78 mbps
uploadspeed 2.21 mbps

Your APU isn't particularly good for streaming, and since it's having to handle all the encoding on the CPU side, it kills your framerate as well because LoL isn't particularly GPU-heavy, but can stress weaker CPUs.

I see. So if I upgrade to an i5 and a good graphics card I should be able to stream fine?

Should be fine. Of course, you'd also need a new motherboard for the i5.
