You should be able to get away with setting it to NVENC (or whatever it is that Nvidia uses, I can't fully remember), and then set it to scale to 720p and give it a 3Mbps bitrate.

I wouldn't recommend OBS as it's too taxing on the hardware. I recommend GeForce Shadowplay that is built into GeForce Experience, it can record upto 4K and is much less taxing on the hardware so you get minimal lag.

Just h1z1 and maybe csgo

I am not sure if you will be able to stream CS: GO, it is a very CPU intensive game and streaming is also CPU intensive. Just try and do test stream and see how it looks, try and adjust the CPU preset if it looks laggy and 720p is probably the best option considering your Wi-Fi speed.

If he uses his 1060 he can manage much better than that.
