I have an A6-3620 and a GTX 750 ti, when looking at statistics i noticed that my CPU usage peaked at 100%, whereas my GTX 750 ti at most reached 92%. Which means it is clear that my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. With Photoreal ENB and 2K Textures LITE, I get 60 fps in open areas. However, whenever I turn around to look at my followers, the frame rate often [censored] itself before stabilizing at ~45 fps. Cities such as whiterun aren't too friendly on my CPU either.

I've did some research and I decided that im getting the Pentium G3258 and a new mobo. Obviously i'm going to overclock it, else it'd be wasted potential. If anyone has a G3258, then I would appreciate it they could possibly list their most script heavy mods, and how their CPU holds up in script heavy instances.

Thanks

That looks like a good processor for running Oblivion, and older games. It has only two cores and no hyperthreading, so can't do much in parallel. Since Oblivion was a single-threaded game, it would be perfect for that.

Skyrim benefits from more cores, so it will perform better on a CPU with more cores and hyperthreading, even with a lower clock speed. The A6-3620 has twice the cores, and should be better. Animations are the killer, as you've seen. Cities have more actors in view.

Skyrim doesn't scale well with more cores. You are better off with at least an i5 if you really want to mod Skyrim.
