I can tell you that you could change the CPU and RAM since they might bottleneck your system.. Also the HD7700 series is low-end gaming GPU profile, so you don't really have a gaming PC to play with but it should be able to run almost any games at 1080p med textures, and other low settings. What do you mean? The Local C is empty?

Basically like TheArcher said, your RAM, CPU and Motherboard are bottle-necking your GPU. You need to upgrade your whole system before the GPU will work to it's full potential. You can't stick whatever you like into your PC.

Thank you both for your help. I can say that I was looking for a better CPU a while back (about 6 months ago) and found that nobody is selling CPUs compatible with 775 socket anymore. I was looking at a motherboard and CPU combination, but along with my newer GPU and 550 watt power supply (to power my GPU), I just couldn't afford it. I'll look into upgrading the other half of my computer when I get some money.

Thanks again!
