Computer will not perform. Told that my specs are OK/FAIR/GOOD

[Pandurai]

Have a computer which is about 3-4 years old the specs from what I've looked into seem fair. Shouldn't cause games I play to not perform. From frame drops to long loading times.

Could somebody please help me look into this? Is something wrong with my computer?

Thanks in advance

Specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Brand: Core i5 3rd Gen
Cores: 4


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Memory: 1024 MB
Generation: 16th
DirectX: 11

Installed Ram: 8gb

SSD runs Windows
1 other HDD runs my games

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit

That is a low-medium end computer from almost 5 years ago. You are running games off of the HDD like you said. Loading times are slow in what games exactly? Framerate drops in what games exactly?

Thanks for replying Christopher, I was going by systemlabs can you run it information.

I bought Aragami for example yesterday and this has frame drops when i move my angle of vision with the mouse.

Similiar problem with Batman Arkum Asylum & Naruto Shippuden.

I've run hardware updates through the device manager but tells me all my drives are up to date.

If old is there a way to optimise the computer/ or perhaps over-clock ? Anything in making it run as best as possible.

Thanks
