Help setting up new gaming pc!

[Henry4560]

So I just finish building my first gaming pc and it is not performing as well as I thought. Its actually slower than any other computer I've ever touched so I must have done something wrong. My setup is asrock fm2a75-itx with onboard radeon hd7000. My processor is amd a10-6800k with integrated 8760d graphics. I'm using 8gb ram and not video card. I'm just doing casual gaming right now. So what excatly did I do wrong? It should be super fast in theory. I've installed the motherboard drivers and yet did not see both of the onboard grahpics in device manager at all. Please share some wisdom for the inexperience. Much help is greatly appreciated.

At 1080p, this setup wouldn't exactly be spectacular. You may have just been overestimating.

Still, my laptop running on dual core 2.6 ghz and radeon 5470 beats this setup by a long shot and its still terrible

Well, which GPU are you using, the built-in one or the A10's APU?

What kind of HDD are you using?

And by the way, give us all your specs.

The A10's APU capabilities can fully run 1080p, he must be using the built-in GPU installed in his motherboard.

Well thats the thing, i really dont know which one i'm using. The device manager shows no sign of any graphics and I've try setting it in the bios. Not excatly sure where in the bios it is, but I am assuming the north birdge, which gives me the option of igd video and something call nb pci slot video. As for harddrive, i simply bought a seagate 120gb refurbished one for budget reasons. As for power supply I'm running a corsair gs800, if that has anything to do with this.

Well at what RPM is that HDD running at?

Please post your specs.

As for your AMD APU I've searched it up for you, run this program and it should auto detect the drivers required for your AMD APU's Radeon graphics.

The harddive runs at 7200 rpm and I've just dl and ran the link you sent me and it says "we were unable to find your product or os" I have windows 8 installed currently.

Thanks th3controller, after further investigation it seems i didnt't download the proper driver for the processor. After doing so everything is running extremely smooth. Your help is greatly appreciated!
