Make sure all of your drivers are up to date.

I assume you are on 1080p?

That CPU is fairly old, it could use upgrading. Could be likely that it is causing FOS issues.

That CPU is the bottleneck, you'll want to upgrade the CPU to get better performance.

Yes, your CPU will be the bottleneck there. Try turning down graphics settings that are going to bring load onto the CPU such as advanced lighting and physics effects.

Just curious, what games are you getting that fps on? Definitely upgrade that cpu, you'll be set after that!

I literally had the same setup as you, upgraded to an 8350, made a massive difference! The 4170 is a massive bottleneck.
