Because your power supply is only 430Watts it cannot give enough power to the components under full load.On games it says that the CPU has 95% usage because it simply cannot get enough power in order to run at full load.The power supply is limiting it.

The performance will be about double I imagine.This CPU has about in 40-70% usage in modern games like BF4 with a normal Power Supply of course.
