Need to replace my i7-3820 cpu 3.60ghz with a newer upgrade. CPU maxing out at 100% loading a webpage and struggling on all games. CPU is 5+ years old.
 
Solution
Try doing a clean reinstall of your operating system. As hdgaming said, it shouldn't be struggling in that way. It should perform quite good even today.

I have a 3820 overclocked to 4.3ghz through multiplier with most of the settings at stock cept turbo boost disabled. I have no idea why your machine is eating up your cpu because even when I downclock it back to stock I never see this kind of behavior and I am running 2 screens with multitasking (web browsing whilst gaming, etc...) I think you should do a clean install and/or clean your coolers/case interior.
