Today I just downloaded Call of duty: Ghosts and its an awesome game! The thing is that whenever I play it lags a little bit sometimes. I noticed that it was the CPU that sometimes it will peak at 100%. I want to know if its because my CPU its not powerful enough and I just should get another one or if its maybe just a configuration thing that I need to do?

Intel core i5 4670 3.4GHZ
8GB Kingston Hyper X ram
Nvidia GTX 760
Cooler Master 750W 80 Plus Bronze power supply
Gigabyte H87-D3H motherboard
Windows 7 Professional
 
Solution
Your CPU is more than powerful enough to run CoD:Ghost. I run max setting BF4 with my i5-4670k. You should check the temperature of your CPU while that event happens.

Everything is below 50 C. The CPU got like max to 50 C. The GPU like 70-80 C. The cooler I use is a Cooler Master Hyper T4.

The hottest I saw my CPU get when playing COD: Ghosts was like 50 C. The weird thing is that it only happens in COD: Ghosts and I already played BF4 on Ultra settings and it worked perfectly. I have speed fan and I don't know what Temp3 is but when I play BF4 or COD: Ghosts that thing gets up to 51C. The Core0 gets only up to like 46 C.
 
Run the TASK MANAGER (Ctrl-Alt-Del).
Then go to "performance" then set it to show all cores (4) and leave it running. Also set update speed to Low.

(Windows 7 and 8 are different on how TM works. I think you click "View" for the update speed, and in W8 you right-click the CPU history graph and change to "show logical processors" but it's there for W7 somewhere.)

Play the game for a while, until you stutter, then close or Alt-Tab the game and observe EACH CORE's history and report what it shows.

I would normally expect no core to be above 70% usage.

Well what I see work the hardest is the 4th core.http://s1027.photobucket.com/user/JoseManuel69/media/Capture2_zpsd0180e1d.png.html?sort=3&o=0

and what happens if a core is working more than 70%?
