I am currently using a "(3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) AMD FX 6300 Six Core CPU Processor", which has been serving me well with most of the applications i use, however there are a few which are extremly laggy in places. I have asked in the application specific forums and i have been told that the CPU is the thing that has been holding me back.

Knowing this, i have been searching for better CPUs. However i know very little about CPUs and i need a little help choosing one, or finding out if the CPU was the thing that has been holding me back in the first place. (link to the forum where i found out that my CPU was the thing holding me back is here http://forums.firefall.com/community/threads/unplayable-lag-spikes.6943921/)

My searches have resulted in this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CLBZAHY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Is this CPU better than what i have? Would it be able to run a rather demanding game? If not, then what would you suggest?
