So i have just built my first ever PC and it seems to be running slower than i expected even doing simple tasks and i think that its struggling because my TV is too big. I have a 32" 1080p ready TV and I think I think my graphics card might be struggling. My CPU and GPU are:

AMD FX-6300 3.50GHZ Am3+ 6-core
Gigabyte HD 7770 OC 1GB GDDR5

Do I need to get a smaller monitor/Better Graphics card or is there any way to improve this without spending money?

I probably should have mentioned that even though i managed the build i am fairly new to PC's (converted from Console) so do not know a lot. I installed the CD that came with the GPU and the temps seem OK, do i need to activate turbo myself at the start?

I have not ran any programs to test temps, which should i use? I tried to run Gmod and spawned in large amounts of npc's and large amounts of explosives etc and it seemed to run fine yet just on browsers and home screen mouse seems to lag, videos freeze etc.

I noticed just there when I change to a game my TV changes to 720p @ 60hz, does that mean anything? And if it runs better at 720p how do I make it run at that all the time?
