Anyone who knows enough to help you is going to want to know your pc build.

Your CPU usage is normal whilst not playing or is already pretty high, is the CPU usage caused by the game only?

It's caused by the game only. It's normally not this high when playing other games

You should probably check your temperatures, sounds like that is probably the issue
