Is my CPU the problem or is it something else?

I recently bought a AMD Fx 8350 CPU and a GTX 660 TI and am getting lower frames than my friends who have the same exact gpu. Although my friend has a different CPU. He has an i7 3770 CPU and that is pretty much the only difference. When we play Battlefield 4 he gets 60 frames consistent while I only get 45-50. It's not a big difference but it's something that has been on my mind today. Also when we play other games it's the same problem. Thanks for helping
 
Solution
The 3770 is stronger than a 8350, would also guess he may have more and/or faster DRAM, but even if the same type and amount the Intel has a much stronger MC and utilizes DRAM much better...Might want to OC the 8350 which may help some....make sure you have the latest BIOS on your mobo, which could help
