Am I bottlenecking?

I have a AMD Quad-Core A8-3820 Accelerated Processor that came with my HP pavilion p7-1220. I upgraded the integrated graphics to a Radeon HD 7770 so I could play more games. However, I only get about ~15-20 fps on DayZ at 720p with medium settings. Is there anyway someone could tell me if I'm bottlenecking without trying a different CPU in my PC?

Yes, your CPU is highly likely to bottleneck your GPU. The only solution to this is to get a beefier CPU with the FM1 socket.

That is definitely CPU bottlenecking. Dayz is horrible optimized, so nobody gets favorable performance, but it is still a very CPU intensive game. You may actually get better framerates by raising your resolution, as that takes some load off the CPU.

Thanks for the input. Do you have any suggestions for a decent CPU for a reasonable price?

It would still severely bottleneck. I own the relatively new A10 5800k, and it bottlenecks like crazy on any game that needs even a little CPU power. I'm waiting on Kaveri, which will have upgraded CPU cores, but in your case, you cannot get rid of the bottlenecking without a new mobo+CPU.
