OBS Help!
If you're not a partner, you shouldn't go above 2500-2600 bitrate or people will not be able to watch easily (on twitch; unsure if hitbox has these issues). You can fiddle with your compression at 720p 60fps with that i7. It's pretty good for streaming. I'd suggest at least "faster" with 2500 bitrate or so for 720p 60fps when streaming. Make sure you use CBR and CBR padding.
The downscale filters dictate how sharp the downscale is. Bilinear is blurry, but will work well with less bitrate. Bicubic is a bit sharper, but lacking bitrate will cause your stream to have "white blocks" or get extra pixellated in fast motion or deep black areas. Lanczos is a sharper version of Bicubic, but again needs more bitrate. It's also game dependent; Hearthstone won't care about bilinear or lanczos, but CoD might want bilinear to be able to see better.
If you want SERIOUSLY in-depth explanations about everything OBS-related I can do it, but you'd have to pay me for my time (I don't expect you to do this, and I expect to be flamed for saying this, but whatever).
