How do I find out what is hammering my SQL Server?

This query uses DMV’s to identify the most costly queries by CPU

SELECT TOP 20
    qs.sql_handle,
    qs.execution_count,
    qs.total_worker_time AS Total_CPU,
    total_CPU_inSeconds = --Converted from microseconds
        qs.total_worker_time/1000000,
    average_CPU_inSeconds = --Converted from microseconds
        (qs.total_worker_time/1000000) / qs.execution_count,
    qs.total_elapsed_time,
    total_elapsed_time_inSeconds = --Converted from microseconds
        qs.total_elapsed_time/1000000,
    st.text,
    qp.query_plan
FROM
    sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs
CROSS APPLY 
    sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS st
CROSS APPLY
    sys.dm_exec_query_plan (qs.plan_handle) AS qp
ORDER BY 
    qs.total_worker_time DESC
