CPU: Intel i3-3240 @3.40GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
GPU: GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Monitor: 1360x768
HDD: 1 terabyte
SSD: 32 GB SanDisk

What can I do to have optimal and HD settings for recording gameplay with OBS? Anything else you need to know just ask.
 
HI 4themoment,
I think you will have a hard time streaming anything that requires some power (I have been able to stream a 1998 game on a I5-2340M, but when I tried something that requires power, like Path of Exile or Borderlands, the CPU just could not keep up).

Personally I upgraded to an I7-2670QM and that manages to stream OKish most of games quite ok on HD or lower quality. Even here I sometimes get problems.

Laptops are simply not well suited for streaming unless you have a "desktop replacement"

I'm not playing on a laptop but instead a desktop setup. I'm not looking to stream but simply record gameplay such as CS:GO
