Huge FO4 issues

[Coryhatcher]

A few days ago, I bought Fallout 4 and wasn't able to run it. It had a flickering black and grey screen, but I got that fixed. then, excited to play this game (on lowest settings) I started a new save.. Aaand I got a horrible shardy graphics issue. I don't know what this is called and I couldnt find any posts relating to this. Anyways, lowest setting, I get 5 FPS, which I should be getting 20, but I can worry about that later. For now, how do I fix this? Do I just need to get a discrete GPU just to play it at all?
CPU: Intel I5-4690K
GPU: Intel 4600 Graphics
RAM: 8 GB (Don't remember brand, I think ballistix)
HDD: 7200 RPM 1 TB
Like I said, my primary issue is that I am getting these shards, secondary is getting 1/4 what others do with the same CPU/GPU. Ask me any questions you like.

Yes.

Fallout 4 Minimum Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
Free Disk Space: 30 GB

Before you buy a GPU, what is your budget and what power supply do you have? If you don't know, open the case and read the make and model off the label.

I'm surprised it even started with integrated graphics. What resolution are you playing at and what's your budget? Power supply make and model are also important.

I'm trying to persuade my mom to let me buy one. I built my computer for Christmas, and still don't have one. Maybe soon. But as for my PSU, 500 watt CX corsair

Well the CX series is an OK series. It does lack a little quality. If you can look at purchasing at least a 950 GTX or a r9 370.

I might
get a 780 TI for $150.

Now this is what I was getting to. The quality of a PSU far succeeds the wattage. The Corsair CX series are not designed for stressful situations meaning situations that require lots of consistent high power. The Nvidia requires a 600 watt or greater power supply for a single 780 ti. I wouldn't power a 780ti with a Corsair CX of any wattage. You're going down the wrong road here.

Stick to a 950 or 370. If you go any stronger, you're going to have to replace the PSU as well.

Sorry for the extremely long wait on a reply, but now I have a CX 750, the 780 TI, I5 4690K and can play the game at ultra with dips down to 40 but usually 60fps. However, my copmuter blue screens or just freezes quite lot under load. Usually only one time a day when I get a heavy gaming session in.
