Hello

Without changing your VGA card, you wont achieve better performace in games. It is true in general, aside from some extreme cases.
I would say look for a better VGA card, thats the quickest solution. You should upgrade your CPU and motherboard later to an extent that they wont hold back your new VGA card.

Motherboard is mainly there for housing the other components. ( aside from the integrated parts - LAN, Ethernet, Sound card ... )
Your concerns in gaming is VGA > CPU > RAM > motherboard. Just make sure the CPU doesn't bottleneck ( hold back ) the VGA for example.
