Yes. That Athlon just isn't powerful enough to give the HD 7750 it's full potential. If you can, you can upgrade to an AM3+ board and AMD's excellent FX 6300, some DDR3 RAM, buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and overclock the nuts off the CPU, if you so desire. Sorry, but your Athlon isn't as dominant as it once so amazingly was.

hmm so i just decided to get money on my savings in the bank and im thinking about this build. If i need to change anything so that the computer will perform better and cost cheaper id greatly appreciate it. Also do i need a cpu cooler? Im using this mainly for gaming. Also on a tight budget. The case ill just be searching here in Ph since i cant buy of newegg.com
