Ok so Im trying to make a processor upgrade but I only the basic of the basics of computer knowledge. I know that certain processors only work with certain motherboards. My motherboard is an MSI A68HM-E33 V2 . Here is a link to the list of compatible processors: http://us.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/A68HM-E33-V2.html#support-cpu

I don't know what determines how fast a game runs (I am looking for a processor that can run games very well). My graphics card is fine so all I need to know is the processor. Thank you.

I would look for one with a high number of cores and a clock speed around 4GHz or just under, typically AMD is not the best for gaming but as long as it's not too CPU intensive then you'll be fine with any I suppose. Hope this helps.
