Like others have said, you need to give better details for us to help. If you don't know the details here is how you get them.

For cpu:

Windows 7

Click on start, then control panel. Then click on system and security, then system. Your cpu well be listed here.

Windows 8

Press the Windows button + c then click the magnifying glass on the side. Type control panel then click on control panel in the results. Follow the rest of the steps for Windows 7.

For gpu:

Windows 7

Click start, then type dxdiag in the search box (I believe, it's been awhile) Then press enter. Click on display, your gpu is listed in the top right.

Windows 8

Press the Windows key + c. Type dxdiag and click on it in the results. The rest is the same as Windows 7.

Just because you have a faster processor than the minimum required doesn't mean you get good performance. Your graphics card matters far more.
