Running Games on low fps even with decent specs?

I had my computer for about 2 years but recently I played some games and it seems like i am getting low fps when I shouldn't be. For Example in Arma 3 i can only run around 15 fps even on the lowest settings

CPU: Intel Core i7 4771 @ 3.50GHZ

RAM:8.00GB single - channel DDR3

Motherboard: ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. H81M-K

Do you have the latest GPU drivers installed? Is your monitor plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard?

Do you run any kind of CPU/GPU monitors when playing Arma 3? Arma 3 is a poorly optimized game, last time I checked, not only GPU, but CPU heavy also

i don't really run any monitors when playing arma 3 what should i look at when monitoring the cpu/gpu?

Yes its good to keep track of CPU/GPU and usage and temps while gaming. Lets you see whats going on. I personally use MSI Afterburner, but there are also others out there also. But Afterburner only shows your temps for your CPU not clocking, it's more of a GPU tool.
