Here's what I'm looking at.  It's the only thing using up anything significant and the system definitely isn't idle.  Computer sounds like a jet engine right now, which it seems to do a lot...

also, that seems like a lot of unnecessary processes at the bottom, but I have no idea what I actually need to keep running...

I really need to switch back to a mac.

It's not actually using anything.  It's just the percent of the CPU that isn't being used.  The number of processes don't mean that all are currently using any cpu time.  For instance, Chrome launches a separate process for each tab, so that one tab crashing doesn't take down the entire browser.

As for why your PC sounds like a jet engine, I don't know.  Laptop?  All the vents clear?
