Hello, I have a pc that i made a couple years ago. But when I play the first Borderlands the graphics is very pixalated and sucks. Why is it such crappy graphics? Whats wrong and what needs to be improved. The specs are-
* GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboard H55-USB3 with USB 3.0
*CORSAIR TX650W power supply
* ZOTAC GeForce 9600GSO(graphics card)
*Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU cooler
* i5-750 LGA 1156(cpu)
*2x2GB G.SKILL RIPJAW(ram)
*I am running windows 7
Anything that I am missing?

your gfx card is atleast 4 years old. your CPU is good but gfx is shit compared to todays standers. get a new gfx card. you can get HD 7850's for around 130$. its good enough to play most modern games at high settings.
