Ah ok. Just as I had thought, my graphics card wasn't up to par. I will consider all of the above mentioned upgrades. I'm thinking that the Sapphire r9 270x looks good. I just got this pc though, so might take a while for me to get upgrades. Thanks for the help!

Skyrim isn't really the newest or most intensive game to run, but I have to play on low graphics settings for playable framerates. I just got a gaming pc, and it's not the best, but it works for most of my games, however it seems to struggle with skyrim above low graphics settings. I don't...

Is this fully compatible? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YV0F66/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A168YW697SU3UM Or do I even need a CPU upgrade? Is .3Ghz and 2 cores more a big enough difference for the upgrade to be worth it?

Is the 840 the best CPU I can get? There isn't a way to contact amazon sellers until you have already made a purchase.

Is a Phenom II x4 840 compatible then? Specifically: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-Edition-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B004LRO9B4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1396212543&sr=8-10&keywords=phenom+II+x4 And is it wise to purchase a used processor? The 840 on amazon doesn't have any new CPUs, just used ones.

I was looking at a PC build someone made but the motherboard isn't available anymore (ASRock FM2A55M-DGS R2.0). The build is all inside of a fractal design core 1000 and I just need to make sure an MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 will be a compatible replacement. Unless I'm mistaken, the CPU and CPU fan...

Oh I also have to add that for some reason while installing the drivers, I couldn't get Catalyst to work. I just installed the drivers by themselves, without catalyst. Would Nvidia drivers make catalyst freeze my computer on startup? That's what happened. I never got a solution.

I finally uninstalled my old nvidia drivers and the control panel and what-not. I had recently installed a Asus Silent Radeon 6450 in my eMachines el1358g-51w, and I updated my drivers and everything for it. When I finally got around to uninstalling the old nvidia drivers, I restarted my...
