I have a Phenom II x4 925 2.8Ghz and a GTX 660 OC.
In some games im having too low fps.
Should i get a new cpu? which one?

Yeah, I would try and get it overclocked up to 3.4Ghz or so and see how that works out. It's a whole lot cheaper than buying a new board and processor and it might be all you need to fix your problem!

what do you mean by too low fps? give us a number.
use lastest drivers and geforce experience.

I don't think you really need a new cpu... and you-ll have to go for fx-8350 or i5/i7 to feel a difference, which they are not so cheap. you have the multiplier unlocked, you could play with it a bit.
