so I used 3DMark11 and got this result:

Which seems low to me.

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
AMD A6-5400K
Sapphire HD 7770 1GHz
KVR 16g DDR 1600
Samsung 840 128g SSD (for OS/Programs)
Win7 Ultimate x64
Stock Air CPU fan.

Currently have the GPU running stand alone because AMD 'Dual Graphics' does not work w/ that CPU/GPU combo.

Any recommendations on how to get better (safe) performance out of this system?
 
Solution
an overclock but even still its only a dual core. really should have gotten an a8 or a10 since they are quad cores if you wanted an apu or a fx 6300

The ram is 800MHz. There's a bottleneck right there. ;)

Swap that out for 4 or 8GB of 1866.

EDIT*

Ram is actually 1600, set to 800 in the bios. Needless to say, change that to 1600. ;)
