I have recently purchased a new PC with the following specs:
AMD A6-7310 CPU
AMD Radeon R4 GPU
8GB RAM (7.68 usable, if that matters.)
Windows 10

After setting the PC up and running CS:GO, I found I was only running around 60 FPS maximum in an online match. I have tried freeing up CPU and RAM, changing game settings etc. but none of these have given me any noticeable results.

Is my CPU, which has a 2.00GHz speed causing my PC to run such low framerates?

To answer your question, yes technically your CPU is holding your fps back, but mostly due to your PC lacking a decent graphics card. In gaming your graphics card is often more important than your CPU performance.

Not sure why most think I'm using a notebook, but I'm using a desktop. In case I've got the wrong specs, here is a screenshot off of my control panel:

Will upgrading the CPU and GPU make my PC able to run high usage games/apps with better performance?
