That sounds about right...The 650 is a pretty weak card, I wouldn't really suggest it for games like that. Also, Zambezi processors are not very strong.

Your specs look fine with the exception of the 400GB WD hard drive. Is that an old SATA I Caviar drive? Speeds with this storage will be far less than desirable and could be explaining part / all of your problem. This would be the first place I would focus... Download a trial version of HDTune (or other program) and test your soeeds. For comparison, a new 1TB drive should see around 140 MB reads / writes.
