Is there anything that can improve my frames in games such as a better CPU or GPU? I noticed that I lose frames when I think I should be doing fine. I think I'm bottlenecking my game speed by having a slower CPU. Opinions pros?

the cpu is most likely what is holding you back.

Is this a custom computer? what model is the motherboard? what is the model of the power supply?
 
If you're gonna buy another APU of higher model and clock speed. Try getting an ATI card, from the 6700 or 6800 series for you to be able to utilize AMD's Dual Graphics Technology on their APU's which is what you have.

I understand you want to upgrade but your hold back there is the GPU. Less VRAM to hold more textures and less power to process said textures when you are tossing it more to do.
