SO here are my specs, http://imgur.com/AXZKjk8

I've lowered the settings, but I seem to get much better fps at higher settings.
The things that have given me the biggest boost have been startup parameters (5fps increase), but changing the pre rendered frames to 1 like most people say to do decimates my fps, keeping it at 4 I tend to get around 40-20 fps from 20-10 which is an awesome increase. But as the fps whore in me cries out in pain, 40fps simply won't cut it.

Any help?

Ah, that presents another issue. This motherboard is completely dreadful for overclocking. I tried to overclock but when I did it just reduced my memory speed down to 800mhz. Thank you for the reply though

Wait hold on a minute here, my ram default runs at 1333mhz what on earth is going on.
Is there a way to properly check?

At the very least, yes. With a 990FX board you could get a reasonable OC out of the 6100.

669MHz x 2(double data rate) = 1334MHz.
Your RAM is running as it should.

Oh good grief I nearly had a heart attack. I think I can apply a minor overclock but I'm not sure if it will bring any benefit. Any recommendation as to what motherboard I should go for, my case can only fit an Atx.

Well I guess that wouldn't help fps that much now that I think about it... Yeah all that needs fixin' is your CPU if you want that better performance.

Hahahaha RAMEN for you then.
I am not sure as to what models they are, but if they are old that could cause some issues too, ARMA 2 reads from the HDD a lot. If those are pretty old then it could slow things down. But it will not be consistent, it will spike very low for very short periods at a time.

Still CPU is more important in this case.
