Hi, got a new computer and was expecting 200fps on Counter Strike Global offensive to find that I am only getting 40-50 on low settings....

Does anyone see anything wrong with my setup??

If you do not chase ultra high settings in all games, but still want a capable card relatively inexpensive, you may get GTX 650.

YYK's right, that GPU is for email/ looking up cat memes

You need a new GPU, and while you're at it, likely a new PSU since the name brand probably isnt something to brag about. Since your ram is "Corsair or major brand" I assume you simply pulled the specs off of iBuyPower's web site and would bet money that its a junker.

Its a tough lesson, but thats what happens when you drink the Bix Box Store's Kool-Aid. They probably marketed it as a "Supreme Uber Gaming Paladin" when its clearly not
