Sup guys. I have a Gigabyte Ga-h55m ud2h motherboard, I guess it's a 1156 socket? I'm not too sure. Are there a decent cpu out there around 200 dollars for this motherboard? I have a amd 7770 video card and I'm only getting like 60 fps average so I'm guessing it's the cpu. Also, what program should I download to figure out what processor I have?
What processor

You don't need to download anything to see what processor you have. Open the start menu and type "dxdiag" then hit enter. It will ask if you want to go online to check if drivers are WHQL signed or something, you can hit yes or no, doesn't matter.

You can also press Winkey+Pausebreak.
Make sure you have the convar mat_queue_mode 0 (EDIT NOT 0, -1!) set.

Enabling that drops your fps?

I think disabling it can raise FPS in some situations. I have multiple cores as do many people, but I don't notice a drop in FPS with it turned off. I play with it on anyway. Only time I turn it off is when recording/watching a demo, so I don't crash while changing ticks.

kirbyNo. I think it actually helps raise FPS in some situations. It disables multicore rendering, so I'm not sure why disabling it would raise FPS, but turning it off makes sure you don't crash while changing ticks in a demo.
Also I know it's not a big deal or anything but it's ATI* 5770
It's amd radeon 7770, it's the 7000 series

I know, I forgot AMD dropped ATI. I edited my post.

I'm SORRY!!! I meant so say make sure you set it to:
mat_queue_mode -1
:(

shouldn't it be either 1 or 0 instead of -1?

It depends on how much threading you want. Some people bug more with multicore, though it's mostly fixed now. It's all preference, although one value (0 i think) defaults to suggested settings.

Seems like 1156 socket is almost obsolete since it was 1st gen. I'll just buy a 3rd generation cpu with motherboard. Thx all. I will try the mat_queue too.

The only time, that I know of, where you should use mat_queue_mode 0 100% is when you plan on changing ticks in a demo. Not sure how buggy it is to use now in terms of gameplay since I believe they fixedi t.
