Solution
Check your Ram usage with only the game open and then check it when you have the game and Chrome open. I'm willing to bet that you're maxing out your 8Gb of RAM. If CS:GO is the main game you want to play it maybe as simple as adding another 8GB of RAM to your system.

I want faster gameplay, aprox 4 months ago I had aprox 200fps on CS:GO (using it as a unit since it a very popular game) and around 150 fps with chrome and stuff open. When I open it today with chrome open I have around 20 fps, and without around 100. So, my computer is starting to slow down and I want to upgrade to counteract that.
