Hi, I currently have a Foxconn 2AB1 paired with an AMD Athlon II X4 635. My 7850 2gb gpu is being limited by this I believe, when playing games MSI reports GPU usage is 50-60% while CPU is 70%+ at all times. What is the best thing I can upgrade to under $100? What options do I have, thanks!

With setup like that you are usually limited by CPU, strongly. As most games can't use all four cores the total CPU load won't be 100%.

Upgrade won't really much help you. Only few models were faster than that, and only faster by somewhat.
