Why is this build so bad?

the amount of system ram does not effect rendering power of a graphics card, just how much it can render. having more ram doesnt give you better framerate. if u want to fix this so u have better frames, get a dedicated graphics card of decent quality, probably in the $170-$250 range. also your friend's gt 640 isnt terrible for games, while not the greatest, it still beats an onboard graphics engine on frame rates. also, if your friend has a quad core cpu, that would beat a dual core cpu (what you have) even if you had a higher clock speed. also, amd's clock speed and intel's clock speeds are not comparable because Intel chips get more calculations per clock than amd chips.

also, if your friend has a lower resolution monitor than...

AMD a-6 processor is only a dual core. the rest of your parts resemble what may be in your "shitty $300 laptop" or are comparable. also if you are looking for better frame rates, the onboard graphics engine of the A-6 processor wont give you any performance to brag about. if you seek to improve your gaming experience, go with a dedicated graphics card.

I don`t know what you expect.
A 650 card will be pretty poor at frame rates if at a high resolution and most of the game fx turned on for starters.

So if your after some more FPS lower the res, and turn or lower the graphics settings of each game, in the in game options.

The main game I am playing right now is arma 2, which doesnt offer multi core use. Why does my friends 3.2 run better than my overclocked 4.2, he has the geforce gt 640. Even by raising and lowering graphics settings it only goes either direction by 2-5 frames. Does this mean that my processor is the problem?

also, if your friend has a lower resolution monitor than you do (say he has a 1280x720 screen and you have a 1920x1080 screen) then of course its going to run smoother because the graphics engine isnt doing as much work!

it sounds like you need to get a grasp on some fundamentals of computers. get a new graphics card, and do some research before buying. understand what bit rate, vram amount, and cuda core count/stream processor count effect in a card, and look for a deal. also understand what a high end's cards power requirements are and maybe get a new power supply when u get it. i hope this was a start in the right direction, good luck!
