Hello, all.
I've been experiencing stuttering issues in all of my games, and i'm fairly confident it is the CPU causing this.
I bought my Prebuilt Lenovo K450 in 2014, and slowly started upgrading the parts.
So far I have added in a power supply, a graphics card, 16gb of RAM, and an SSD.
Initially, it worked great, but after a while I noticed my games were beginning to stutter.
It got worse over time it seems, sometimes to the point where a game is unplayable.
My specs are as follows:
Intel i5 4440
Nvidia GTX 970
16gb RAM
Lenovo 10120 motherboard
Samsung 860 EVO SSD 1TB
Western Digital 1TB HDD
This issue was not always present, even with my current specs.
My main worry is the compatibility factor, as I would have no idea which CPUs my motherboard could take.
I also want to get the most for my money, if possible.
If anyone can help, i'd greatly appreciate it.
My main goal is to either:

- Find a CPU that is compatible with my current setup
- Find a motherboard and CPU to replace mine
- Buy a new PC and swap parts if needed
