Updating CPU

I just got this Acer Desktop computer with this motherboard in it,

Acer AX1430G-UW30P

It has a AMD E-450 dual-core processor, this processor is not strong enough to support gaming, which is why I bought the pc. I got it two 8GB ram sticks which I thought to be the initial problem of the slow computing, it did help but I am now leaning towards the CPU being the issue, but I am sort of new to this all so how do I upgrade this CPU?

If you could help I would greatly appreciate it!

It has four white solid-topped pins in the corners of the CPU, and it seems to move around like it might come out..

That processor is soldered to the motherboard and is not meant to be removed or replaced.

The four pins are holding down the heat sink on the CPU.
