My question is what can I do to upgrade gaming performance, do I need to get a new CPU? Can I? All help is appreciated. Thanks!

can't get a new cpu because is BGA, so you have 2 options:
1 - Buy a new motherboard tat comes with a better cpu and can fit the case
2 - Send the current motherboard to a capable technician that can re-apply a new cpu
this are the only options and they are expensive
