i guess a decent upgrade would be to FX6300 or 8350

and overclock both, make sure your motherboard is capable of overclocking without killing the VRM

honestly, i suggest you keep that money and upgrade to a new platform when zen or kabylake releases

investing in that platform is no longer wise, with new platforms coming soon

 

what you can try is playing around with the game settings, turning down whatever is eating into your cpu (like physX)

you can also monitor things with msi afterburner, when you see a stutter you can check it to see whats going on with gpu vs cpu usage and other things

its normal for gpu to be pinned at max, its bad if it isnt

 

anyway in that case, try uninstalling the current driver using DDU, and install an older driver like 361.xx or 362.xx, 361.91 for example

remember to download the version for the right operating system you're using
