My computer specs are as follows:
AMD A4-5300 APU 3.4GHz
Sapphire Radeon HD7850 2GB
4GB DDR3 Ram (1333 MHz)
500 GB SATA Hard Drive
Windows 8.

Here's whats happening:
-AC4, I play ac4 and get smooth 30 fps when near seas or looking up at sky, when im in town my fps drops to 10-16. I ran fraps to see the fps difference, i put EVERYTHING on ultra high, 16 fps... i put EVERYTHING on low, in the same spot, 16 fps.

-Far Cry 3, On far cry 3 i get around 20-25 fps, which is not too bad. I put all options on ultra high and get the EXACT same fps on very low.

I play these game through Steam/Uplay.
Now I want to know what's causing the problem and any possible fixes, if not then I wish to know what possible upgrades might help fix the problem. Please bare in mind I do not have a job so i will need to save up money, therefore try keep budget as low as possible.

Thank you.

Your processor is bottlenecking your GPU you should upgrade your processor and motherboard either to a FX8320/6350 And a AM3+ Board like the M5A97 R2.0 or a new FM2+ motherboard and a new A8 7700 or A10 7850k
