Im currently having issues with my pc's cpu usage spiking up to 100% whenever i use a web browser or try to play a game,this problem has only started to occur after i installed my 750ti. This is my first time posting on here but im at a loss as to how to fix this so im coming to you guys for help,
My specs are:
OS - Windows 10 64bit
CPU- AMD Athlon II X4 640
Ram - 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Motherboard - ASRock N68-GS3 UCC (CPUSocket)
Graphics - 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (MSI)
PSU - Corsair CX600

Im wondering if i might need to update my CPU,I only have around £70 if i need to update,if you think thats the case then what would you suggest?
Thanks alot.
 
Solution
Its just that your cpu simply is not powerful enough to run intensive programs. At this point you NEED a new computer. But keep the psu and gpu.

I'll get round to replacing the cpu etc at some point when i can afford it,i thought it would be the cpu that was the issue just wanted to double check
