What's bottle necking my system ? (need help!)

Can you help me out ? 


 


I've recently built a pc and am having some issues, it seems whatever graphics settings I have in a game I get the same fps e.g. skyrim high preset 8x anti-aliasing 8x anisotropic filtering I get 30-40fps at 1440x900 and on the low preset with both aa and aniostropic filtering off I still get 30-40 fps at 1440x900 this is the same with saints row 4 , fallout new vegas etc.


 


My rig:


-AMD (Richland) A6-6400K 3.90GHz (4.10GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 Dual-Core Unlocked Processor


-EVGA 750ti sc

Its the CPU. Based off passmark scores, the CPU is as weak as Intel Core 2 Duos E8000 series

System: Intel Core i3 3240 @ 3.4GHz, EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB ACX 2.0, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Kingston HyperX RAM, ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 Motherboard, Corsair CX430 W Power Supply

Definitely. Buy like a A8 6600k and up and the problem should go away
