I just installed a MSI GTX 770 into my computer with and AMD FX 4100. I know it a bottleneck but I'm running games like Chivalry on 29 fps, Planetside 2 on 16 fps and BF3 on 30-40 fps on on the best settings should it be this bad?
 
Solution
AMD FX-8350 if it fits within your budget. It requires that you have motherboard BIOS version F3 installed before you change the CPU.
Yes that's a severe bottleneck.

What is your CPU usage while playing these games? If it's near maximum most of the time then you have a severe CPU bottleneck.

Lower display resolutions tend to reveal weaknesses in CPU processing power. Weaker CPUs cannot keep the graphics card(s) fed with data quickly enough so the FPS drops.
