Streaming is CPU heavy, relatively speaking. I don't think the athlon can stream too well. Also, your internet upload speeds need to be decent for streaming to prevent lag (not fps dips, that's probably the cpu issue). You can try to stream at lower birates and lower quality to see if it works.

hows the CPU and GPU usage looking? 

Seems like a bottleneck

I dont really stream i record really

[techguru]

you need to use the OBS fork for recording with the gpu

google OBS VCE

[techguru]

that will take the stress off the cpu

Minecraft doesn't put a lot of strain on the gpu (if you're modless). The 270 is more than capable of handling vanilla minecraft. Also, recording is CPU dependent as well as streaming.
