Have you run speedtest.net , to check the actual bandwidth?
For 60fps, you'd need 30+Mb/s.
ALso depends on the compression algo: can go way above 30Mb/s.
I'd bet that where the bottleneck is...

I'm using a gtx 770 now.
I can run 4k 60fps with an r7 250....

A quad core of a recent gen should not be pegged anywhere near 100% for 4k60fps. Much slower computers will manage what you're trying to do without too much problem.
When your CPU pegs, is it ONLY the one program causing it? At idle on your desktop what's the % usage? I feel like there's something else running in the background that's causing this usage..

I go generally have a lot of stuff running in the background. But usually 15% idle. However I can close all those apps that're making up that 15% and I still have the same issue.

What about when you're watching the video. What's using the other 85%?

Chrome if that's where I'm watching the footage.

I doubt this is the issue given you say you get it for local files too, but can you confirm - https://www.youtube.com/html5 has everything blue ticked/no red ticks

I have a 2gb 960gtx and just ran a duplicated 4k 60 fps video on both of my monitors at the same time and it ran super smooth. I think you either have a browser issue or a bandwidth issue. I dont understand why cpu would be an issue. 1 of my cores was running at 5% during the test. that was it.

It's not a bandwidth or browser issue because offline vids played on a media player create the same problem.

Out of ideas personally...
Though, you said you OC'd via genie. What are your temperatures? CPU temps? 100% use could occur if you're throttling like mad?? Can you download CPU-Z and maybe HW Monitor or your preferred temperature monitor client and check your temps whilst playing videos/doing things etc. I dunno if we covered this already. And I doubt it given a 212 evo but who knows?!
Humour me and go into your bios and set to optimise defaults.. Your stock turbo is 3.8ghz anyway.
