Hey guys just wondering if anyone in here can help me out.

I recently bought a 7970 for BF4 in my old rig, and whilst I got a decent boost I am nowhere near 60fps on high settings. I did a graph thing while running BF4, and apparently the CPU not up to the task

I have a Gigabyte MA790Gp Motherboard. Would an AMD 8320 CPU fix my frame rate issues? Are there better CPU's to choose from? Is the motherboard itself causing issues also? What's the benefit of replacing it? Also I was going to chuck in another 4GB of ram.

Here's my system:

AMD 955 Phenom
4GB DDR2 ram
ATI Radeon 7970
Gigabyte MA790Gp Motherboard
Seasonic M12 80plus 500Watt. PSU
Thanks guys
