Just got a new GPU but the performance isn't any better.

Installed a GTX 1060 6gb yesterday and tried some games to see if the fps increased. It didn't at all. The only thing I can think of that's holding it back is my CPU, which is an A8 6600k. I'm upgrading later on but would my CPU bottleneck my GPU this much? Also when playing games my CPU usage is very low.

It's definitely the CPU. Once you upgrade to something better (go for skylake i5) you'll notice a massive difference.
