I get an average of about 85-95 fps on Minecraft and low end games like Portal, 1 Garry's Mod, ect.

But when I get on games like Skyrim and Rust I can't play them. Skyrim there is video lag, I hear sounds a good half seconds before the action accurs on the monitor and everything video wise is laggy. On rust it's the same thing but even worse i get about 1-5 fps (i can't even play it). When I look on task manager my cpu only goes to about 25%. I have Intel HD Graphics 2500 I'm guessing this is the problem.

These are my specs
CPU:Intel Core i5 3450 @ 3.10GHz Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology

RAM: 8GB

I need to know what to upgrade if it is a graphics card and psu i know what I'm going with but i want to check before i go spend almost $300

(PSU:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119)

I want this PC to handle pretty much any game i throw at it. Thanks in advance.

P.S. If there are any other specs you need tell me and i can get them to you i just need to know what i need to upgrade (I have an Inspron 660)

I could do that, I'm kinda new to this i've been told i have plenty of RAM but is there anything else i need to upgrade?
( I know how to install i just don't know about the spec stuff yet )
 
if you have all your hardware and your operating system........... put it together and get it going. then if you need advice or run into problems ask............

install opsys/when that's done install drivers and ethernet off disc that came with mobo. then head to windows updates. reboot and go back. reboot and go back.

then you should be ready for software and surfing.

Well i used to run 2 7770's in crossfire and they did pretty decent, one of them can run most mid range games on high and high end games on med-low but fps isnt all that great with just one... Like I said the 270X is a great card, you can have it today and it plays all games on the market on high...
