So i have poor fps in a lot of games and i was told it was my cpu however i think it is more than that now. I was playing mine craft and my friend asked "whats your fps" and my one was around
50 fps with a
fx 6100
gtx 660
m5a78l-m usb3 mobo
8gb ram

and he got 138 average with a
radeon Hd 7850 2gb
cpu - amd bulldozer 3.6 ghz
8gb ram
I'm confused at my lack of fps on most games, i was told it is probably my cpu but even when my cpu isn't maxed out (like ghosts) its still really poor performance. I intend to probably replace the cpu and if needed the mobo. Any help would be appreciated as i wasn't to rule out as much as possible before spending money.

Steam takes a lot of CPU power, Skype does aswell. When playing MineCraft you don't really need Origin or Steam up. Maybe Steam if you're some sort of trader but turn off your browser and Origin and you should be fine.
