I have been trying to fix it for a couple months now, but I keep getting the same results... FPS Lag. Its not that old and its probably just over entry level. (i5 3rd Gen, 12GB RAM, Nvidia GT620, 400W PSU, Win8, And I don't know the motherboard). Its prebuilt btw (Dell XPS 8700).
I need help getting my desktop to run games smoother.

the graphics card is very weak and is your problem
the only way to get better fps is to replace it , and the power supply which is also not going to be good enough
Do you have a budget , and what is the resolution of your monitor?

I don't really know what my budget would be. I am not looking to buy it this month, but if I do, it will probably be in the last week of February. If you can give me a good PSU and Graphics card that fits in well with my setup without spending money on unneeded power. If you can throw a couple of choices at me (between 0-200 bucks) then I could choose that way. My res is 1920 x 1080. Thanks
GTX 650 Video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130827) $110, $90 with rebate
EVGA 500 Watt PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012) $65
Total: $175
For an extra $50, you could get a GTX660 which will greatly increase videogame performance.

If I was spending $200 on a graphic card and power supply it would probably be

Modular 500 watt power supply + radeon 7850
This will play even heavy duty games well enough at 1080p resolution

and as a bonus the model I linked is semi modular and will be tidier and easier to fit
