So i got ac4 and when i first got it it was unplayable (8-12fps) so i bought a whole new computer with water cooling. my specs are,
AMD FX 4300 Quad Core 4ghz (auto overclocking)
16GB ddr3 ram
Sapphire HD 6850
So after i payed a ridiculous amount of money just to play games on a higher frame rate ac4 still runs at like 20-25 sometimes 30fps with all settings dropped to low. Wtf did i waste my money? It runs smoother on a xbox 360 ffs ubisoft can lick my nut.

Well not knowing what you paid or who you bought your PC from, I can say that it is at best a mid range gaming PC. You may have overpaid for older tech or are expecting way too much out of it.

Would upgrading to a six core and getting a better gpu improve the fps to at least 60?

Yea on most games i get around 75-80fps and i play battlefield 4 on 80fps. Ac4 is the only game that runs shitty.

The recommended CPU for the game is pretty high, but your video card is well over the recommended video card. They recommend an Intel i5 CPU.
Assassin's Creed 4 just does not run well unless on a very high end system, it's not your system, it's the game. http://www.hardwarepal.com/assassins-creed-4-black-flag...
Make sure you have all the patches for the game and keep an eye out for new drivers for the video card as well.

Yea i just dropped the resolution down to 1280x720 from 1920x1080 and now it never goes below 40fps. It still looks like poop compared to 1080p though.

Turn up some of the options, it will look better. Even 2x AA will make a 720p resolution look pretty good.
