Hello there!

I ever since I installed my new graphic card , the Radeon HD 6450, I've been experiencing a lot of lag and choppy movement (when I play video games and when I don't). Could you help me find which part is bottlenecking my pc?

Specs:

Processor: AMD FX-6120 Six-Core processor
Memory: 10Gb DDR3
Graphics Card: Radeon HD 6450
Power Supply: 300W
Operating System: Windows 7, 64-bit

Thanks!

The hd 6450 is a really low end old graphics card and having a 300w power supply is really bad i would start there

Upgrade the power supply, because most graphics cards that you could upgrade to will require a larger PSU.
