That quality looks fine! You can see all details and that is good enough. It's not like you have a streaming studio at your house, so no reason to expect more.
Edit: How come you get in-game video with screen capture? O.o

If i want to, I can up it to 720p for when I spectate only (playing when streaming 720 is hell), but the difference between the two res. isnt huge. At the end of the day, its about the image quality, not res.
Ok. First, start Quake Live (practice game or w/e) and OBS. Then do:
1) In OBS, click "Global Sources" > "Add" > "Game Capture".
2) Hit the Refresh button once, this is the key step. This is needed so that the refresh button gets highlighted, if it is, you can hit enter to preform a refresh. Once you clicked on the button once, don't click on anything withing OBS!
3) Maximize QL.
4) Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE then choose task manager.
5) Now you should see your taskbar! From here, click the OBS application icon in your taskbar.
6) Hit ENTER (in order to refresh).
7) Minimize QL and go back to OBS. Now you should see the "[chrome *32]: QuakeLive" application in the list. Select it and hit OK!
Just a tip to get rid of the annoying fps drops ingame (which can really fuck up the feel of the game IMO)
go to:
Task Manager >
Processes >
Find quakelive.exe, right click and choose "affinity" >
Make it use only 2 cores >
Find OBS.exe and do the same thing and make it use the rest of the cores
You could always try signing quake to use 1 core to see what its like. I think I've read somewhere that the game is designed for a single core, but I know for sure that 2 cores makes a difference.
You could try overclocking the CPU too, if you know how and have a better cooling-unit than the stock-fan. Every 100hz counts in the encoding world :>
