Buying a new motherboard and CPU - But I'm very new to this, could use some help!

The thing is whenever i run a game the CPU usage skyrockets up to about 95-100% usage. I cant play games and have anything else running in the background or the game I'm playing is unplayable, even something as small as Chrome is impossible for me to have running. All I wish for is to look up the best possible processor for my motherboard, however I'm too unexperienced to look up any other CPU's than the one Dell has listed for me and people are saying those lists are outdated.

Cant thank you for the help enough so far Sak, thank you.

When the computer is idling the processor goes from 50-75% usage. Could it be something as easy as the fact that my computer isnt using all 4 cores or something? What i really want to avoid is spending 500$ Which i guess is the amount i need to get an Intel i7 processor and a motherboard that can run it.

How do i check this? If i go into the task manager all the programs running are using 4 processors.

I've got about 60 processes running right now, all of them using 4 processors. However some of these are obviously Chrome, Spotify, etc.

I go into task manager and this is the info it gives me of the CPU when i play a game of Splinter-Cell (A game i should be able to run on recommended according to its information)

Usage: 100%
Speed: 3,00ghz
Processes: 72
Threads:971
References: 20299
Sockets: 1
Cores: 4
Logical processors: 4
Virtualization: Inactivated
Hyper V Support: Yes
L1-Cache 512kb.
L2-Cache 2mb
L3-cache 6mb.

No idea if this says anything, thank you so much by the way for the help so far, deeply appriciated. I'm here with my computer open next to me just waiting for you to shoot suggestions torwards me!

Once again, thank you so much for helping, trying to think of a way to show how appriciated it is, here are the results.

Oh yeah that was just bad wording by me, if i go into the processor tab instead the CPU usage hovers from 15-30% usage every second or so. The program that uses the most is chrome that hovers from 14-15% (153k KB), the rest of the processors are just 0.8% and lower.

Is the processor speed supposed to be 2,97ghz? Seeing as i have a quad isnt it supposed to be 12ghz or am i just misunderstanding this? When i press the performance button in the task manager it says the speed of my processor is 3.00ghz. I've spent about a year trying to figure this out and noone has helped me this much by the way, cant thank you enough, truly.

Even if i close chrome's processor it doesn't help - I've tried running firefox because i thought the same thing, games still get me up to 99% CPU usage. I'm so tired of running around trying to fix this, I'd buy a new CPU but my motherboard hardly supports anything good CPU-wise and buying a new motherboard and an Intel processor while living alone and studying to be a kindergarden teacher just isnt viable which is why I'm spending so much time looking for help. My budget is basicly 350$

Anything that came from that Hijack Paste?
