hey all

i just bought a new 350$ rig and i found out that my cpu is a huge bottleneck (G3240)
i burned all my budged on my gpu (gtx 950),every single game i play my cpu usage is 95%-100%
i really cant spend any more money on any pc part but all i ask is
Is there anyway that i can fix that bottleneck ? wich means how can i lower that 100% usage ?

games i tried:
far cry4 (very playable)
the witcher 3 ( having stutter but still playable)
mad max (very playable)
crysis 3 (playable but in some places fps drops to 15-20)

specs:
CPU:g3240 3mb cache 3.1ghz
GPU:zotac gtx 950
RAM:4gb 1333 mhz 2x2 kingstone
hard:seagate 500gb 7200 RPM
PSU: dell 350W

Thank you

 
Solution
Save up for an i3 cpu, your best option a good i3 costs about $100-$130
Would also add 4 more gigs of ram, most games use 6-8 gb
thank u all just a last quest , someone told me the g3258 can overclock to 4.4 wichs actually stronger than a stock i3 , is that right ? if its right i can affort a g3258 right now , thank u all again for fast answer :)
 
Overclocking will help a lot, but for some reason, even a heavily overclocked Pentium gets beat handily by an i3 sometimes. Those extra two threads are really useful.
