I wanted to play Battlefield 4 on high/medium settings with at least 40 fps but I'm not getting anywhere near that. I'm getting around 20 fps on very low settings so I feel like there is something wrong with my computer. It's not only BF4, I can't play pretty much any game unless it's on the lowest settings.

Here are my specs:
A780L3C Ver 7.0 Motherboard
AMD Anthlon(tm) II X3 450 Processor
8.00 GB Kingston RAM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB

If you need more information please tell me.
 
CPU is low end.
GPU is low-medium. Should still do 40fps on medium at 720p though.
What PSU do you have. A cheap unit (doesnt matter how many watts they say it can output on the sticker) is not designed to output a constant heavy load like gaming requires, not to mention it lacks the over/under voltage and current protections. In short, dont go cheap on the part that can destroy everything else.
