that CPU will be a huge bottleneck, try upgrading either to AMD ryzen or go with a mid intel (if you can, try not going with kaby lake)

i reccomend a Ryzen 5 or an i5 6500k or an i5 6600k (if you do not want to overclock get the non k version)

sorry to say but the only other fix would be to lower settings
 
The A6 6400K is far from a good processor. When it was released in 2013, it was one of the slowest desktop CPUs you could buy, aside from Kabini or Atom (and you could argue they weren't desktop CPUs). Performance is comparable to an overclocked Intel Core2Duo from ~2006. The only solution here is replacement.

Unfortunately, all CPUs on socket FM2 and FM2+are very slow when compared with CPUs released in the last few years. Your best bet (that doesn't involve motherboard and RAM replacement too) is to find an Athlon x4 750K or 860K, but even these chips are well behind a $60 Intel Pentium.
