Looks like I found the problem but not the fix yet
It seems to do this very high usage when it using the GPU 3D

See my picture in the first post for what I mean. Only some web pages trigger that GPU 3D thing

DID you guys miss this post of mine :confused:
Looks like it maybe a GPU problem and not the cpu..

Am thinking that some websites trigger the GPU-3D usage which then increases the cpu usage

A high-end CPU is better than a mid-range CPU for about everything one throws at it.
I need. It's quite cheap, actually, when you consider that the OP has DDR4 memory already that can be reused, and can get some money from selling the old CPU and board.
If these new parts are only 630 pounds minus the cost of the old parts which need to be replaced.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £630.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I rather stick with intel as I have always suffered from bad experiences with AMD/ATI stuff

The upgrade path would be no different if I went with Intel or AMD

As i have three computers in the house so every time I upgrade my main gaming system the old cpu / motherboard / ram & GPU get used to upgrade one the other systems..So I get to upgrade three systems for price of one upgrade ;)
