The Cohhilition

Hello, I am RolandRhaine and I was told to come here by Cohh and a few of his followers on stream to ask if I could get help in understand what a processor does and how to go about upgrading it. I will list all my specs below, I am asking this bevause I have no issue streaming certain games but I am also running my current processor higher than 90% ALL the time. With a few other games that I have wanted to stream, Like ArcheAge and Mass Effect, and games of the sort I have not been able too because my processor is running at 100% the WHOLE time. My Ram is only using about 50% the whole time. So I am figuring that its my processor because it is only certain games. Specs will be listed below, and I also have an info panel on my twitch profile. Feel free to message me on twitch if you would like to or on here. What ever you wanna do. Thanks so much for any help!

Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor
8 GB of ram and will so be adding 4 more
GIGABYTE 970A-D3P (Dual UEFI BIOS)

If you need any other specs let me know!

a fx 4300 is not a fast processor, i dont think the thermal compound is the problem.

the thermal compound question kind of tied in with the stock cooler question, if it wasn't stock then he would need thermal compound for the new cpu
