Laptop Bottleneck?

[NoLoMo]

Hello, I've been wanting to record some of my gameplay but I lag in game and with OBS recording. Not sure if I have OBS misconfigured or my laptop just can't handle recording and playing at the same time. I have been able to screencap with the installed XBOX app that comes with Windows 10, there were some frames drops but nothing were I cannot play the game at all. In the event it is my computer is there anyway I can build something else so that take the brunt of the encoding? Attached are the setting I have OBS on and the detail of my laptop.

Weak CPU and GPU. Also, why did you set your bitrate at 50000? That's too high.

Was following a guide online, figures it was too high. What should I set the bitrate at?

Thanks, anything else I should be mindful of?

I currently have it on max when I am not trying to record but I was hoping to have it on medium when I record. With the max setting I average about 60-65 fps.
