But then isnt it still be enough to play at least low settings.... Another example is when i play GTA 5 in the Past, it was ggoin 60fps+ at high settings but now when i played i cant barely play it even at low.... Plus Watch dogs came out in 2014 which doesnt makes any sense...

Monitor your cpu core usage while in game. I expect all cores are close to 100%.

During GamePlay or Neutral?

During GamePlay or Neutral?

Actually do both. In games I expect the cpu is seeing very high usage. You want the usage while at Windows desktop to be low but this will show if any program is hogging cpu resources.

Idle/Neutral
CPU: 15% to 35%(Fluctuating a lot)
GPU: 0%-5%
Gameplay:
CPU100%
GPU: 80%

15-35% at desktop is high, you really want it under 10%. Try and find what is using the cpu and close it. This may help a little. Your main problem is you are maxing out your cpu which is what I expected. My old 2nd system has a 4670k and the 4 threads are just a limiting factor.
